I'm good!
I downloaded the windows version here and could not find the option
either - maybe I'm mistaken, I tried a few different products at home.
Either that - or it is only a Mac feature. I think the iTunes xml
file is the same on Windows and Mac tho - so I'm not sure why it would
be in one and not the other - again, maybe I'm getting the products
mixed up.
I have Delicious Library at home on the Mac as well - and I can't
really recommend it - has some great eye candy, but it got painfully
slow after entering a few hundred items, and updates to the product
have been virtually non-existant. It was pretty exciting when I first
got it, hooked up a video camera to scan bar codes, set the camera on
the table with a fixed focus distance to the edge of the table, hold
the cd against the edge so the barcode was in the shot, and bam! I
was entering 30 a minute. But when you have a lot of imports or old
stuff, the ones it can't find are a pain, cuz there is no info at all,
and you end up doing inventory to find the ones it missed, or stopping
to enter the details for the exceptions - ruining the speedy workflow.
Anyway you look at it, when you are into the thousands of items - to
start from scratch is lots of work.
