Description

Vinyl collectors altogether know the struggle, the larger your collection grows, the more you lose track of the vinyls you own. This can become an issue quickly: buying new records to discover you already own it, not knowing if that record you listed on discogs is still around, or unintentionally giving away an original pressing of Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See to your angsty teenage niece (those sell for $300!). Those who have tried cataloging their vinyl collection into the current management apps available know that it is a tedious and time-consuming task. And while the internet has made it easier to discover new music and learn about artists, it can still be difficult to find detailed information about specific songs and the production process behind them. Record Keeper aims to integrate the currently available systems with a new-and-improved collection management tool that is intuitive, easy to use, and provides a comprehensive research tool for vinyl enthusiasts. Users will be able to easily catalog and organize their collection with a quick scan of the record cover or barcode. After confirming that their correct vinyl was found, they will be able to add it to personalized folders,and have access to in-depth information about the songs. Add your music catalogs into playlists, search through your friends’ collections, and join a community of vinyl enthusiasts.
