SCAN ANY CD IN SECONDS - GET THE PRICE INSTANTLY CDLens turns your phone into a CD identifier and price guide. Point the camera at any compact disc - the jewel case cover, the disc face, or the EAN barcode strip - and CDLens matches it release in seconds. See the market price, grade the condition, and build a CD collection worth tracking. WHY CD COLLECTORS USE CDLENS • Identify CDs you can't recognise - old, unlabeled, foreign-language, or buried in a box of bargain bin finds • Never buy a duplicate - every scan saves to a searchable library you can browse offline • Know what your music is worth - Marketplace prices so you always have a current valuation • Grade condition the right way - Goldmine grading scale built in (M / NM / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / F / P) for media and case • Sort by collection, label, year, or catalog number - every release tagged with full metadata HOW THE SCANNER WORKS CDLens runs a three-tier cascade so it works on the messiest cases too: 1. Barcode read - on-device EAN-13 / UPC-A scan reads the barcode strip on the rear inlay and pulls the exact release 2. Cover or disc match - if no barcode is visible (front cover, digipak, loose disc), AI vision identifies the release from artwork or label print 3. Catalog cascade - backend scores candidates by catalog number, artist + title, label, and year proximity to lock the right CD release Just point and scan. No manual lookup, no typing catalog numbers. WHO IT'S FOR Record-shop diggers running bargain bins. Estate sale buyers checking what's actually worth carrying home. Long-time collectors finally cataloguing the bookshelf. Sellers pricing CDs before listing. Inheritors trying to figure out what mom's CD tower is worth. If you own more CDs than you can name from memory, CDLens turns the pile into a library. COLLECTION MANAGEMENT • Multiple collections - group by mood, label, decade, room, format • Total value tracking - see your library's current valuation at a glance • Per-collection value - every sub-collection shows record count and combined worth • Full metadata - label, catalog number, country, year, format, condition (media + case separately) • Notes - keep purchase price, where you bought it, anything else • Export to CSV - take your data anywhere, anytime WHAT MAKES CDLENS DIFFERENT Most "music collection" apps don't focus on CDs. CDLens was built CD-first: • Optimized for jewel cases, digipaks, and loose discs from the ground up • Format-locked queries (CD-only releases) so reissues on other formats don't pollute matches • Condition graded for media and case separately - because a mint disc in a cracked case is its own grade CDLENS PRO CDLens is free to scan and save a starter collection.
