It would be nice if the program could let us use a web cam to scan titles into the database.  Many apps do this for android, and it's a great feature.  My new PC has a built in web cam, as does my tablet and cell phone.  Incorporate this into all platforms and it could be very convenient.  I could be at the store, buy a DVD and scan it on my smart phone then instandly upload it to my database on the web.  When I get home I can then sync my PC and my Tablet.  So much simpler than typing in UPC codes for multiple entries.

That's already possible with the Android version. Menu-button->Scan Barcode.

I see that now!  It still would be a nice feature for the desktop application to be asble to use a web cam like the app does for android.

Not something I would ever use... but then I don't care if it is added either.
