Keeping track of physical media

i take it this is for vinyl? Because Roon does all this for digital.

Yes, physical LPs and CDs stored in my room, sorted on shelves by decades. I would like to keep in a database to to do search when:

  • I have to purchase one - in order to avoid double copies
  • I want to listen to one - in order to find it
  • I bought one and I want to put on its own correct shelf

Yeah unfortunately there’s nothing like that on the market. There was a rumor that discogs could add the functionality but nothing has happened.

Due to all the repressings etc of vinyl you won’t get 100% of what you want but it can get you to choices of say 5 or 10 and then you can scrutinize your label to see which you have.)

Discogs has an open API. It’s possible to write an extension that might do that. (Unfortunately I don’t have time to research and implement :disappointed: )
