![]() ![]() Also no way to tie in with tools like LaunchBar. No AppleScript support, so presumably no way to add items ‘your’ way or support the built-in features. Three or four seconds to switch to my ‘huge’ 11 item CD section isn’t impressive at all. The application isn’t particularly fast, either. In the small icon mode for the main icon list, icons in the Borrowers list are also by far too small to be more than coloured blobs. Or if I would remember to actually use it. The ‘Borrowers’ list may be handy but I wonder whether it’s really better than Stickies. It also displays a Euro price (well not any price or a reasonable one but amazon’s). While it doesn’t seem to support German amazon, for example, it still downloads the review (which I don’t want) in German. stuff I have didn’t even give me cover art from amazon. So it’s worth very little for most people in the world who aren’t keen on typing everything in. only right now for all the convenient lookup features. There you start with a media library that leaves out all those media you already scanned and catalogued. They knowingly left out a tie-in with iTunes for the first version. And why the heck would I want to have the amazon ‘rating’ of a CD I own displayed on my computer? Which is pretty lame as amazon’s recommendations are only useful for the most-obvious choices, wich, I feel, anyone who is compelled to start the whole media cataloguing thing, will be aware of anyway. While this has presumably been installed there for the user’s convenience, I’m not sure I want other people’s reviews downloaded right into my library or that I want many of my queries to go out to amazon (with what looks like a specific tie-in link which may earn the company some extra money but I wasn’t warned about).Īll the recommendation stuff seems to be amazon based as well. Frankly, some menus look like amazon should give us the app for free. And that’s the friendly way of making my point. The application ties into amazon too heavily for my taste. ![]() Strange that the authors of such an eye-candy app didn’t spot this.Īnd then there is amazon. This may be caused by Cocoa scaling deficiencies but doesn’t fit into the whole ‘polished’ style. While the graphics may be nice at large sizes, they aren’t too good at small ones. Just compare its complexity and number of features offered to those of GraphicConverter, which costs US$30. And for an application that I don’t consider particularly complex. Particularly for an application with an unproven use. Luckily I could still see the download link to its right. The web page mainly reveals that the product costs US$ 40. Half the screen is full of Flash junk wasting space and making the clouds move and there is a horizontal scroll bar which seems to be obligatory. But it’s not a revolution.Īs a counterpoint to the rave reviews, let me just list my concerns. Sure the program is pretty and may or may not be useful. With the product having been released recently, I also saw a few rave reviews. I stumbled across a page announcing the application Delicious Library a while ago.
