Listal, the media collection manager

I’ll admit, I’m a media junkie. I read several books a week, and love to collect DVDs and video games. In fact, my collection has outgrown many-a-bookshelf, and I often find it difficult to keep track of all the media I own. I’ve tried various software solutions, but being a web addict, I often prefer to find alternatives online. Luckily, I came upon Listal, which is an amazing service which lets you catalog all kinds of media, including DVDs, books, music, and games. Best of all, it lets you categorize each one via tags (a huge advantage, in my opinion) and you can even rate every piece of media you own. You can also break media down into items you own, and items you’d like to buy, making it a valuable shopping tool as well.
The signup process is super simple, and once logged in, you will notice that Listal is pretty much a blank slate, showing no categories by default. For those of you who like to brag, you can even choose to make your media library public for the world to see, or simply keep it to yourself. Listal is completely free, and has become one of my most visited bookmarks.

I found Listal a week or two ago and agree it’s fabulous. Here is what I have put online so far: http://myvogonpoetry.listal.com/

I’ve been really enjoying it, but I listen to some obscure bands sometimes, and the service does not list them in their directory. I’d like to see an easier way to add media that’s not in their catalog. You can see my current list at http://ferrettim.listal.com , and obviously, it’s got a long way to go before I finish adding my stuff. Adding all those books is sure going to be fun!

[…] I had already stumbled on this site, but had passed on – I didn’t want another username and password – until I read a review in Tipmonkies […]
