About My Vinyl

My Vinyl+ is a collection manager for record collectors, listed on the App Store as a scanner for Discogs. It syncs your Discogs collection and wantlist automatically, adds records by scanning barcodes, can identify music with audio recognition built on Shazam technology, and lets you swipe between collection and wantlist.

Each record is drawn as a vinyl visualization matching its real pressing, including standard, colored, picture disc, marble, splatter, clear and split-color vinyl, with the color detected from Discogs release notes by on-device AI so no data leaves the phone. It supports more than 30 languages and is a free download with in-app purchases.
