The Best App For Your Vinyl Record Collection

Update: May 2020 – It is still a great app!

For those of us collecting vinyl records (which should be every musician), we have been waiting for an app that can easily allow us to enter some information and immediately organize our records into a recognizable collection.

There have been many apps out there that organized your collection, but they just didn’t seem to answer the full calling of the record collector. People wondered when Discogs.com, the massive buying/selling/collecting music database, was going to come out with an official app version of their website. Some third-party apps would even use the Discogs database as part of their search engine.

We collectors just got by…….until now.

In the First Quarter of 2016, Discogs released their official app. Finally, I can scroll through my collection much easier trying to remember which albums I already have, and on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I can sit there to search for albums I long to have. No more typing out excel sheet after excel sheet of vinyl and sleeve conditions, this new app allows me to easily input my collection directly from my phone. And for those album covers with barcodes, I can scan those records with their handy barcode scanner.

This free app for both iOS and Google Play allows me to go into a record shop with my collection in hand. For this record collector, all I can really say is – Thank You…Thank You, Thank You!
