App for cataloging your DVDs, CDs and Books with barcode support?

stator

Anyone know of an app that lets you scan the barcodes on all your DVDs, CDs, Books etc and make an easy database of your possessions?

I can only find databases without the barcode bit.

Android, iOS or (don't laugh) Windows Phone? And/or do you want a desktop client?

For books on Android there's a brilliant one called "Book Catalogue" (funnily enough) which is free, no ads. Been using it for yonks. I'll go and find the link I scanned through my 600+ paper books with the barcodes in no time with that one.

Oops, I'm using Android :beer:. A desktop client would be nice, but just any way to get the information out again like a web interface is fine

Most handheld barcode scanners (of the £20-odd variety) install as a keyboard, you scan your barcode and it's the same as keying in the number. With a configuration you can even have them add an 'enter'or 'tab' at the end, so you can catalogue a stack of 100 barcodes in under 3 minutes with a little practice!
