Cataloging CDs, DVDs, books and video games using the CueCat barcode scanner

You can drastically reduce the time it takes to add items to your database. Use the CueCat barcode scanner to swipe the barcodes of your CDs, DVDs, books or games. The software then uses the barcodes to download all information from the internet, including the cover images. You don't have to type anything yourself, so you'll have your entire collection cataloged in no time at all.

Software Integration

The Collectorz.com programs have fully integrated support for the CueCat scanner.
The programs use the scanned barcodes to look up information in our own online media databases, as well as Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany and Amazon Japan.
Items that cannot be found by barcode can of course still be added to your database by using the Title search feature.

The CueCat scanner is supported in Music, Movie, Book and Game Collector:

Scanning tips for the Cuecat

The Cuecat is extremely easy to install and use: after plugging it into a free USB port of your Windows or Mac computer, the scanner is ready to be used in your Collectorz.com software. Go to the add automatically screen using the menu Edit | Add Books (e.g.) automatically

Hold the CueCat reader between your thumb and forefinger like a pen or pencil. Place the nose of the CueCat on the left side of the code, but not within the code itself
Align the cat's paws with the bottom of the code. Tip the CueCat forward so that the nose is also in contact with the surface of the item.
Move the CueCat reader smoothly from left to right across the code in one fluent and rather quick motion. Remember to keep the reader in contact with the code throughout the swipe for an accurate reading.
