i do on RateYourMusic but not religiously, there’s probably some stuff missing. don’t do it on Discogs.

No. But I kinda want to.

Side note: I had a pal who was moving abroad and in the process of selling off his drum n bass vinyl via Discogs, record by record. Still had 300-odd 12"s left when he was due to go. So I bought them off him as a job lot for £300, fully intending to get them listed and sold off at a leisurely pace to make a tidy profit in the fullness of time. That was three+ years ago. Haven’t listed a single record yet. :-/

Yep, was a pain in the arse putting everything on in the first place, but put stuff on as I get it now. Talk to you soon.

#11

Anyone tried the app where you can scan the barcodes to log stuff? If so any good?

#12

I use the Android version, never had any issues scanning with it. Prefer using the full site for going through releases with lots of pressings/versions though.

Only list my vinyl and a few of the rarer/limited bits of my CD collection that I might look to sell. Made a decent profit on a few 7"s that I never listened to anyway.

#13

I add any vinyl as I buy it. Only started buying vinyl records a few years ago and joined discogs around the same time so didn’t have a big backlog to work through or anything.

Vinyl only since my cds collection is composed by more than 400 titles and it would cost me a lot of time to identify the right ones in the huge database

If someone wanna check my collection, my username is Ricky93.

About a year ago I started to get my collection up to date on discogs and its been a boring task, all my 12"/LP/EPs are listed but havent started CDs & 7" yet.

Current total is 4583 records.

Anyone have any interest in setting up a DiS group on Discogs?
Might be a nice way just to share music taste or get info from the DiS hivemind, and of course handy whenever anyone from the boards decides to sell some stuff.

Not that I have my collection logged or have any idea how Discogs groups work.

Wow that’s a hell of a record collection. Are/were you a DJ?

#19

Many years ago I use to dj at and promote house & techno parties but not anymore. So now I play house parties and such. The records I own are house/techno, stoner/doom, punk/rock and disco/pop.

I’d steal them if you want to.

#21

Yes, I’ve added all my vinyl and cds of the main artists I collect. Took me days to do it - but glad I did. Just log what I buy now.

#22

Yeah used to but always forget about it and it gets mad out of date. Might jazz it up a bit and list some stuff for sale.

#23

I’m alright, thanks.

I started logging a few records late last year, and then logged in all of them. I’m a bit dubious of the estimated value of collection, because at the moment it’s worth more than my car

#25

I have just started doing this, I thought a search would find some other chumps from here who have too. I have got from A - Dinosaur Jr in two days, just doing my vinyl. CDs are either long gone or sentimental tat or compilations I can’t get rid of. It varies from quite interesting in terms of value and a bit of a slog, I don’t think I need to search matrix numbers for which specific mid-70s reissue of Bob Dylan LP I have for example so I’ll cut that out. Odd thinking some records I know I picked up for £4 in the early 00s are now selling for £40+.

The idea is to complete it all, keep it up to date and sell some of the guff and/or the most valuable in relation to how much I actually like it or listen to it. I can always then replace with a different version if I happen to have the first pressing with original sticker and inserts or whatever.

I keep my own spreadsheet about my collection that I update when ever I get anything new. When I set it up a few years ago, it was a pain and inputting it all took forever, but its great now that everything is there. Discogs is a really good platform, both for selling and organising stuff, but I prefer to record everything myself as I can choose what I am recording and customise it to my collection

#27

I have a spreadsheet as well, I think I’ll do both concurrently as discogs does things like list the year as the reissue rather than the year of release. I like a handy list to scroll through and a way of checking value, cataloguing the specific release and a platform for selling.
