TUAW’s Scott McNulty recently sat down with Mike Lee from Delicious Monster, who gave them a tour of the incredibly-anticipated Mac app, Delicious Library 2. Here’s the video:
Watched the video? Okay… wow. Where to start…? Well, as seen, the Delicious team is really going for customer satisfaction by adding some very requested features, and more yet to see.
The ability to publish your library online was the biggest request, and now it’s finally been added. No longer will your huge and drool-worthy library be confined within your Mac — now the whole web will be able to feel envy for your collection. And a gadgets section will be able to show off your most interesting toys, too.
But what is the most interesting addition? That’d be iTunes integration with a media launcher. Yes, Delicious Library now also is a Front Row rival with more eye-candy than the original. Just imagine a Mac media center with Delicious Library working as the main menu…
Also, stay tuned after the Delicious Library stuff is done to see Mike talk about his work with charity (Thievey.org). Interesting stuff, indeed.

Does anyone even need this program?? I don’t know about you, but I see no point in having this. It looks nice and does what it’s supposed to do, but I know of no one who has an actual library. It’s all stored on a hard drive. Movies, music, TV shows … enlighten me as to why, as we move to all digital, does anyone need this. I just don’t get it.

Kurt, YOU may not get it, but for those of us who DO have collections of CDs, DVDs and those paper things, you may have heard of them… books…
Well, you are right. Delicious Library isn’t essential, but it’s really a lot of FUN and a pleasure to use!
And it’s kind of like magic. Hold up a DVD bar code in front of your iSight. Then BING… there’s the cover art and a bunch of information about the disk. NO hunting, NO typing! Plus, it LOOKS good.
You could literally sell Macs just by demoing DL.

Kurt,
They’re also adding support for iTunes’ digital content in this new release, so some people might appreciate that. Yes, it’s not an app for every Mac user to buy, but many people are looking forward to this, nevertheless — myself included.
