Recognition screen showing matched candidates for Suicidal Tendencies — World Gone Mad

Live from the app · Real candidates from Discogs

#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

Four steps.
Shelf to storefront.

Photo recognition does the heavy lifting and surfaces the likely Discogs releases. You confirm the right pressing, add your details, then publish in one tap on each channel.

CAPTURE · 01 / 03

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.

One sourceOf truth

Flexible input

Three ways to add a record.

However you work — fast on your feet or deep in catalog numbers — there's a path in.

From photo Cover recognition surfaces the likely Discogs releases — you confirm the pressing.

From Discogs Search by catalog number, artist or title and pull the release straight in.

#04 — Who it's for

For crate-movers
and crate-diggers.

TIER 01 — Pro

The
Flipper

500 — 3,000+ records

You trade weekly on Discogs and your own Shopify shop. 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 02 — Dealer

The
Store

1,000s · multi-channel

You run a record 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."

TIER 03 — 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."

#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.

What happens after I join the beta? +

After you join, we'll ask what you sell, how many records you manage and which platforms you use. Selected beta users get early access and help shape the workflow.

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.

How do you use Discogs data? +

Connects with Discogs data where permitted to help you prepare structured listings faster. We use catalogue and release details — artist, title, label, catalog number, pressing — to pre-fill your listings. You add condition, price and photos.

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.

Your email address
Your answers to the optional questions: who you are (collector/dealer/etc.), main platform you use, biggest pain point

We do not use cookies, trackers, or analytics on this page. We do not collect your IP address beyond what is standard to deliver web traffic.

Why we collect it

To notify you when the VinylGrinder app opens for beta access and public launch, and to understand who is interested so we can prioritise early access (Dealer-tier users first). That's it. No marketing emails unrelated to the product launch.

Legal basis (GDPR)

We process your data on the basis of your consent, given when you submit the waitlist form. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us — see "Your rights" below.

Where it's stored

Form submissions are processed and stored by Tally (Tally Forms BV, Belgium), our form provider. Tally's privacy policy is at tally.so/help/privacy-policy. We may export the data to an email-sending service (such as ConvertKit or Beehiiv) when we are ready to send launch notifications — we'll update this policy when that happens.

How long we keep it

Until the public launch of VinylGrinder, plus 12 months after. After that, the waitlist database is deleted. If you ask us to delete your data sooner, we do so within 30 days.

Who we share it with

No one. We do not sell, rent, or share your email or other waitlist data with third parties. The only "sharing" is with the processors named above (Tally) that we use to run the waitlist.

Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict its processing, or export it. To exercise any of these rights, email info@vinylgrinder.com. We respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority — for residents of Lithuania, this is the State Data Protection Inspectorate (VDAI).

Changes to this policy

If we change anything material — for example, when we add an email-sending service or analytics — we'll update the date at the top and notify everyone on the waitlist by email.
