I have always bought off the wall movies. In my collection sits such off beat flix as “Road to Bali” and “Fear of a Black Hat”. I have always kept them in the same place and most of the time I know what I have and where it is. I just found a very useful app to put my mind at ease when it comes to my movies. (As well as my books and CD’s)
The app I am speaking of is called “PackRat”, a free download in the market. It is so easy to use it is silly. Simply take a picture of the bar code on the back of your movie, CD, or book and it will identify it and add it to your collection. In only about an hour and a half I inventoried 100 DVD movies with only about 5 not found. It then stores my entire collection on the device. It can even track when I lend out any movie in my collection simply by me moving it to another “shelf”. It also has a great want list feature. If I see something I friend has, I can scan that barcode and remember what to look for the next time I am at the movie store.
PackRat is a great productivity app that can track what you have. Whether you are looking for something to inventory for insurance purposes or to make sure you do not buy another copy of the Simpsons cd, it is an easy way to keep track of something in your hectic life.
Now since I inventoried “Ice pirates”, I really should watch it.
