Record Picker helps you catalog your physical music collection and choose what to play next — vinyl, CDs, SACDs, MiniDiscs and more, together on iPhone, iPad and Mac. CATALOG WHAT YOU ACTUALLY OWN Add an album by hand, scan its barcode or import a collection. Keep the exact edition, format, disc count, country, label, years, track list, artwork and your own notes. Artist, genre and label suggestions make entry faster, while a separate wishlist keeps future finds out of your collection until they are yours. IMPORT WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL Bring in Discogs, MusicBuddy or personal CSV files. Record Picker asks whether each import belongs in your collection or wishlist, lets you map unfamiliar columns and shows what will be added, updated, ignored or treated as a duplicate before you commit. THREE WAYS TO CHOOSE WHAT PLAYS NEXT • Today’s Pick connects verified music news, anniversaries, reissues and optional nearby concerts to records you own or want. Every suggestion explains why it was chosen and cites its source. • Mood Pick finds a record for the moment using your collection’s genres, styles, reviews and listening history. • Random Pick brings neglected records back into rotation without repeating the same record or artist too soon. Multi-genre filters help you shape the draw. BUILT WITH CLASSICAL COLLECTIONS IN MIND Composer, works, catalog numbers, conductor, orchestra, choir, ensemble, soloists, recording date and recording place have proper fields of their own. Different interpretations remain complementary records, not false duplicates. KEEP THE LIBRARY TIDY MusicBrainz and Discogs can suggest missing metadata, artwork, tracks, genres and styles without overwriting your work. Data Quality flags missing dates, incomplete formats and likely duplicates. Sort and filter by genre to see your collection from a new angle. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Export your collection or wishlist as straightforward CSV or JSON. Make a full backup with artwork, favorites and listening history, then restore it on another device. There is no secret format and no subscription needed to get your library out. ONE COLLECTION ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES Private iCloud sync keeps the same library on Mac, iPhone and iPad. The Apple Watch companion helps you find something to play without returning to the computer. Record Picker has no house account, no ads and no tracking. Record Picker is free for up to 100 owned records. A single Record Picker Pro purchase unlocks an unlimited collection for good, with no subscription. Play the right record. ## Key features - Weighted random record selection - Filter by year, genre, format, speed, favorites - Temporary record exclusions - Barcode scanning for quick entry - Metadata from MusicBrainz and Discogs - iCloud sync across devices - Export to CSV or JSON ## Recent user reviews (9 of 9) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/record-picker/id6780422305/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Concept intéressant *2026-08-19* [Update] l’import depuis Discogs fonctionne depuis la maj comme annoncé par le dev, bravo pour ça ! App téléchargée après lecture d’un article pour les fonctionnalités pick du jour et tirage aléatoire que je cherchais depuis un moment pour pouvoir écouter ma collection de vinyles de plus en plus grande de façon ludique. L’import de csv ne fonctionne pas chez moi et c’est dommage (je viens de Discogs) mais l’application a un bon potentiel. J’utiliserai réellement quand je pourrais importer toute ma collection (+ 100 vinyles) via csv depuis Discogs car les deux sont, je pense, complémentaires. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour et pour avoir signalé ce problème. L’import CSV depuis Discogs rencontrait effectivement un souci dans Record Picker. Il a été corrigé dans la version 2.1, actuellement en cours de validation par Apple. Une fois la mise à jour disponible, vous devriez pouvoir importer votre collection normalement. Ravi que les fonctions Disque du jour et Tirage aléatoire vous plaisent ! ### 5/5 — Gets your collection spinning again *2026-08-12* Record Picker is a proper little gem. It goes well beyond cataloguing: Random Pick, Mood Pick and Today’s Pick make it dead easy to rediscover records and CDs that have been gathering dust, without taking the pleasure out of choosing what to play. It feels thoughtfully made across iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. The developer is quick to respond and genuinely listens to feedback. Spot on for any music collector. ### 5/5 — Exceptionnel *2026-08-12* Une application parfaite pour gérer sa discothèque: tout y est. Peut-être serait-il pratique d’y rajouter une possibilité de saisie automatique des champs dès lors qu’on a déjà mémorisé un artiste par exemple (création de répertoires ?) **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! L’idée de proposer automatiquement les artistes et autres informations déjà présents dans la collection lors de la saisie est très pertinente. Je la prends en compte pour une prochaine évolution afin de rendre l’ajout manuel de disques plus rapide. Encore merci pour cette suggestion et pour votre soutien ! ### 4/5 — Problème UI *2026-08-12* Sauf erreur de ma part, impossible d’afficher la barre de menu en mode vertical sur un iPhone SE. L’idée semble très bonne sinon **Developer response:** Bonjour, La correction est désormais disponible dans la version 2.1.1 sur l’App Store. Après la mise à jour, la barre de navigation reste accessible en mode portrait sur iPhone SE. Merci encore d’avoir signalé ce problème.

Highly recommended! ## Frequently asked questions about Record Picker ### How does Record Picker decide which record to play?
