Essential for music collectors

I’ve looked for a app to digitally categorize all of my CD’s, records, and cassette and this app goes above and beyond that. With so much customization options and an easy to use UI, I would definitely recommend this to everyone looking to organize their library

So far so good!

I’ve only been using the app for a few minutes but one thing I noticed after importing my collection from discogs is that Wax automatically applies the 7” tag to vinyl that’s listed under 45rpm, when these are actually 12” records. I’d like to see a separate designation for rpm and record size if possible! Otherwise everything seems great so far!

Hi there! You can indeed change it in the dropdown for "Format", but I'll check out why it's doing that automatically.

Easy to use, solid app

Overall a great cataloguing app, I like that the album art is automatically downloaded and it’s quick and simple to add albums.

The one feature I’d love to see is the ability to search all songs/artists on the albums. Currently you can’t search for individual songs or artists on the albums. This would be a nice feature especially for compilation albums.

Hi there, thank you for the suggestion! I've added it to the backlog.

Totally Awesome!!!

I love this app so much! It’s simple to use and I have no problems with it! I think that it is perfect for organizing your records! Everyone who has a record collection need to absolutely download this ASAP!

A valuable tool for vinyl collections

I’m finding the app easy to use and outstanding at finding every obscure version and edition that has ever been published. I’m also happy to know I can add my own entries for the real oddballs. My first wish for improvement is being able to browse my collection on my iPad. Someday? Secondly, after a search and after looking through the “thumbnails,” I may choose a version that turns out to not be an exact match. When I close that choice, I have to go all the way back and start my search all over again.

Hi there, I'm glad you're enjoying wax! That bug that you mentioned seems to affect a few other people too, and I'm working on tracking it down. EDIT (Jan 20, 2018) That bug you mentioned should be fixed up in 2.0. Thanks again!

Love it.

Great and simple UI for keeping track of my vinyl collection. Would love it if I can somehow export my collection list or sync with Discogs.

Response from developer

Hi there, you can indeed export your collection list (in Settings), but wax does not, and likely will never, sync with Discogs.

Great way to keep track of my vinyl collection

I have an extensive vinyl collection and am always shopping for new records. I also have a terrible memory and a tendency to buy doubles. With Wax, this will no longer be an issue. I now have access to every record I own, so if I'm not sure if I already own something, I can pull out my phone and check the list on this app. Highly recommended for the casual or advanced collector!

Great app for my personal collection

This easy-to-use app is perfect for cataloging my record collection. I love being able to organize and annotate my albums the way I want to - highly recommended.

Great Collection App!

This is a great app to keep on top of your collection if you are a geek for music! Specially if you have more than 1 version of the same CD for example. Discogs information built into the app is a great addition too! No need to put in all the info or album covers

Improvements to get 5* - iCloud Syncing

So you can add items to your collection from different devises. Plus not loose all your collection if you purchase a new iPhone etc

Hi there, thank you for the download! iCloud syncing is on the roadmap.

I like not having to sign in

I tried many apps before settling on this one. Super simple to use and does what I want. I'd like to suggest a feature. Add the ability to add by record's identifier number. Most of my records are pre-barcode. The Title Album search works very well but brings back huge list to search through sometimes. The identifier would narrow that. Only bug I have is export does nothing. I assumed it would email me a csv or something but nothing happens. Fix that and this is a solid 5 star app.

Edit: You fixed the email issue! 5 stars it is.

Response from developer

Hey Michael, glad you're enjoying Wax! Searching or adding a record by identifier should be ready in the next minor update, or the one after that - coming soon! Also, I've just submitted a new version to the App Store (v 1.5.1) that, when it is available, should fix the email export feature. Edit: Thank you again, Michael! The newest version also has search by catalog number.
