haven't updated it lately.
Anyhow... I don't know for sure, but don't think they do other types
of data, just books. But they had in the past, and might still sell a
little device called a CueCat: www.librarything.com/cuecat.
CueCat is
a little cat shaped scanner which works at their website to input
books, though I don't know if it can be taught to read other
barcodes. Lots cheaper than $200, by any means. You can put 200
books on for free, over that, you can pay $10 for an annual
subscription, or $25 for a lifetime, and input unlimited numbers of
books.
I should go surf around and see if they do non-book media yet, or if
they work with anyone who does.
Blessings,
