How do you keep track of your physical media?
I’ve been using Letterboxd for a few years to track what I watch.
But I’ve got a large collection of physical media and sometimes it’s tough to remember exactly what I have when looking for something to watch. Plus the eternal “Did I lend that to a friend?” question.
If anyone has any ideas on how to keep track of this stuff, I’d love some suggestions.
I don't use it but Filmogs is essentially Discogs for logging your different copies of films. Filmogs is to Letterboxd as Discogs is to RYM, basically.
Looks interesting. It seems pretty comprehensive. I looked at a movie I know has dozens of releases Army of Darkness and it seems like it has pretty much every release I know about (and then some).
Might be good for people who have a lot of older films across different formats.
For me, I just use a spreadsheet.
Using Google Sheets I use
I have one sheet for Movie input and another for TV input. I then copy those values over to their respective sheets.
It can be as simple or as complicated as you like.
Here's a screencap
I don't keep a lot of physical media, but it'd be a breeze to catalog all of your media. If you can find a decent barcode API, you could even set up a little scanning system. :)
I'll suggest Cinemos in general once it's fully out, but it doesn't currently have support for different issues of the same release. Even if it eventually does, even RYM hasn't caught up with Discogs in that area. It's just a different focus.
Still worth checking out though :)
I use Libib, and it's worked great for me so far.
