CeeMedia
CeeMedia is a GTK+ application for cataloguing movie collections.
It can retrieve info and cover images from places such as Amazon, IMDb, All Movie Guide and AlloCiné, and provides a plug-in system that enables the user to write plugins for other sites or implement new functions.
It largely follows the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines, and because of this, fits in on a typical GNOME desktop.
CeeMedia is released under the GNU General Public License and is free (and open source) software. The current version is a prerelease of version 0.5.2, released on July 23, 2005.
