I think IMDb should make a software for computers so that users can have their watchlists in that.
I have searched the internet and I found some similar softwares like :
eXtreme Movie Manager
DVD Profiler
Movie Collector
All My Movies
...
These programs were good but while searching I came up with a new Idea:
***A ‘Player’ with features of these programs***

I found out that PowerDVD is able to do this!
But PowerDVD is connected to MoovieLive.com that is not as powerful and complete as IMDb.com
Here we have two ways:
-First way is that IMDb makes an exclusive player.
-Second is that IMDb cooperates with PowerDVD.

Yes, WinAmp imports a lot of data so it can recommend songs or allow you access to their discography.

The best solution is to have a full featured API, that would let anyone making software use the data. It'd work in IMDB's favour (well its wider family) as the data could include things like ASINs to allow linking through to Amazon, or whatever LoveFIlm use. So it'd drive traffic to IMDB as well as to its parent/sister sites.

This harkens back to the days before IMDb when Col Needham (founder and CEO of IMDb) and others maintained lists on the USENET group rec.arts.movie. Col created UNIX scripts to search these lists. For more details, see: A Brief History of the IMDb.

This underlines quite how large the site is - I've not seen either of those pages.

I think x-ray is the second step
AND I don't have any goddamn Kindle or Wii U, and I don't know anybody with those in my close people either
But everybody have a PC
So IMDb should focus on PC
