Vinyl Crate is the ultimate companion for vinyl collectors. Whether you're a seasoned crate digger or just starting your collection, Vinyl Crate makes it easy to catalog, organize, and showcase the records you love. IMMERSIVE RECORD PLAYER Spin your digital collection on our Technics SL-1200-inspired turntable. Drag the tonearm to seek, adjust the pitch slider for DJ-style speed control. Connect to Apple Music to hear your records come alive — with shuffle, repeat, and AirPlay support. DRIVE WITH CARPLAY Take your collection on the road. Browse by artist, genre, or crate from the dashboard, tap any album, and play it straight through Apple Music — hands-free and eyes on the road. APPLE INTELLIGENCE INSIGHTS Let Apple Intelligence analyze your collection and reveal your musical identity. Get personalized summaries, smart crate descriptions, and discover patterns in your taste you never knew existed — all processed privately on your device. DISCOVER NEW RECORDS Let on-device Apple Intelligence study your collection and suggest albums to add to your wantlist. Recommendations skip records you already own, tune themselves to a single genre when you want focus, and pull live pricing and artwork from Discogs so you can decide on the spot. INSTANT SCANNING Point your camera at any barcode to instantly look up album details. No barcode? Scan album text instead — just tap the title or artist name to search. Get complete information including tracklist, pressing details, release year, and artwork — all powered by Discogs. ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION Keep your vinyl organized your way. Create custom crates to sort by genre, mood, decade, or however you like. Mark favorites for quick access, track your wantlist, and see recently added records front and center. SYNC WITH DISCOGS Already have a Discogs collection? Import your entire library with one tap — even large collections sync in the background so you can keep browsing. Add new finds to your Discogs account directly from Vinyl Crate. COLLECTION VALUE & INSIGHTS Discover what your collection is really worth: • Estimated collection value (minimum, median, maximum) • Rarity scores based on Discogs community data • Your most valuable records • Breakdown by artist, year, and genre • Your collector level and stats POWERFUL SEARCH Search the entire Discogs database with advanced filters. Find records by artist, album title, genre, year, country, or format. Search your local collection instantly, even offline. BEAUTIFUL DESIGN The Digital Curator update gives Vinyl Crate a warm, editorial aesthetic built for collectors. Warm cream surfaces, rich typography, and ambient album art make browsing feel like a gallery. Your most recently added record gets hero treatment at the top of your collection, gliding with a subtle parallax as you scroll. Browse in a stunning grid view or switch to a detailed list — high-resolution artwork front and center either way. PRIVACY FIRST Your collection data stays on your device. Apple Intelligence features run entirely on-device. We don't track your listening habits or sell your data. Discogs sync uses secure OAuth authentication. Vinyl Crate is free to use. A Discogs account is required for syncing and accessing the full database. Apple Music subscription required for playback features. CarPlay requires a CarPlay-compatible vehicle or head unit.
