#01 — The Problem

Listing records
sucks.

You know the drill. Pull the sleeve. Type the title. Copy the catalog number off the spine. Cross-reference Discogs. Write a description. Re-write it for Shopify. Re-write it for the marketplace. Photograph it five times. Screw up the matrix number. Repeat. Four hundred times.

01 / Manual entry

You're a human OCR machine.

Typing titles, artists, labels, catalog numbers and pressing details by hand. For every record. Errors compound. Listings get rejected.

02 / Cross-platform chaos

Different rules on every channel.

Discogs Marketplace wants strict formatting. Shopify wants clean product pages. eBay (coming next) wants keyword-stuffed titles. You're writing the same record three times.

03 / Bad titles = no sales

SEO you don't have time for.

Missing pressing year. Missing country. Missing "first press" or "promo" or "reissue." Buyers searching for the right pressing never find yours.

#02 — Workflow

Three steps.
Shelf to storefront.

Photo recognition does the heavy lifting. Discogs fills in the blanks. Publishing is one tap on each channel.

Snap the sleeve.

Point, shoot. Our recognition engine reads the cover, spine, label — even matrix numbers etched on the runout. No typing.

#03 — The toolkit

Built for collectors
who mean business.

Signature feature

Photo recognition that actually knows vinyl.

Trained on sleeves, labels, matrix numbers and runout etchings. It tells a 1979 UK first press from a 1981 reissue — because that's the difference between £20 and £200.

Collection + marketplace status

Every record, every channel, one screen.

Search and filter your whole crate by artist, format, condition or price. Per-record status badges show exactly where each pressing lives — Draft, Listed or not yet pushed — on every channel, side by side.

#04 — Who it's for

For crate-diggers
and crate-movers.

TIER 01 — Free
The
Collector
50 — 300 records

You've got a couple of crates. You want to know what you own. Maybe flip the odd duplicate. You care that your catalogue is correct — because you are.

"I want to know exactly what's on my shelf, without spending a weekend typing it in."
TIER 02 — Pro
The
Flipper
500 — 3,000+ records

You trade weekly. You've written the same description four hundred times. Listings are your job, not your hobby — and they're eating your evenings.

"If I could cut listing time in half, I could list twice as much. That's the whole game."
TIER 03 — Dealer
The
Store
1,000s · multi-channel

You run a store. Maybe a team. Inventory on Discogs, on Shopify, in the bricks-and-mortar — soon on eBay too. You need one source of truth and fast, consistent listings at scale.

"I don't need another app. I need the listing queue to clear itself while I'm unpacking the next box."
#06 — FAQ

Things you'll
probably ask.

How accurate is the photo recognition? +

For common releases with clear sleeve art, match confidence is typically 90%+. For rare, damaged or imported pressings, we surface the top candidates from Discogs and you confirm in a tap. It's faster than typing — even in edge cases.

Which channels do you publish to? +

Discogs Marketplace and Shopify at launch, with channel-specific titles and descriptions. eBay is the priority for phase two. Reverb is being scoped with early Pro users.

Do I need a Discogs account? +

No. We use Discogs as a data source — you don't need an account to benefit from enrichment. If you do have one, you can link it to sync your collection and wantlists.

Who owns the data? +

You do. Full CSV and JSON export on every plan, including Free. Your catalogue is your catalogue — VinylGrinder is a tool, not a hostage situation.

Do you grade condition for me? +

No. Condition grading is the dealer's call, always. We surface the Goldmine grade fields for sleeve and media, and auto-fill pressing/pressing-variant data — but you grade the record.

What about 7"s, 12"s, 10"s, box sets? +

All of the above. Box sets and multi-disc releases are handled as a single record with linked media. 78s are on the roadmap after launch.
