Your Music. Your Way. Your JEDDIE. Your collection. Your rules. Your soundtrack. And it's completely free. JEDDIE is the music management app built for people who are serious about their music — whether it's vinyl, CDs, digital, or cassette. Add albums, build libraries, share with the people you listen with, and play it all without ever leaving the app. No subscriptions. No paywalls. Just music. Are You a Collector? JEDDIE was built with you in mind. Dig through record bins without buying a duplicate — your library is always in your pocket. At a record fair, flea market, or your favorite shop, scan the barcode or search the album and know instantly whether you already own it or it's been on your Want list all along. No more "wait, do I have this one?" Streamers Welcome Too You don't need a physical collection to love JEDDIE. Add your favorite albums and artists to your library and let Apple Music handle the rest — full tracks, full albums, right inside the app. JEDDIE organizes what you love, Apple Music plays it. Together they're unstoppable. Your Library, Fully Alive Add albums by searching, scanning a barcode, or entering manually. JEDDIE pulls in full track listings, artwork, and metadata automatically. Mark albums as Own or Want, then browse by artist or album artwork — whichever feels right for your collection. Play What You Love JEDDIE connects to Apple Music so you can play full albums and tracks directly from your library. No Apple Music? No problem — 30-second iTunes previews keep the music flowing either way. Listen to any song, anywhere, even when you're miles away from your physical collection. Shuffle Like a DJ Quick shuffle your Owned or Wanted albums with one tap. Build Custom Shuffles by artist, album, or track. Save your favorite shuffle combinations and replay them anytime. Share the Music Create multiple libraries and share them with the people you listen with. Your partner, your kids, your best friend — everyone gets their own view, their own colors, and their own experience. When you add something new, they see it on their next refresh. Make It Yours Every library has its own gradient theme — choose from curated presets or build your own color combination. Dark or light, bold or subtle, each library can look exactly how you want it to feel. Your Want List Works for You See something you love but don't own yet? Every album on your Want list connects directly to Discogs, eBay, Amazon, and Google so you're always one tap away from making it yours. JEDDIE doesn't just help you remember what you want — it helps you get it. JEDDIE isn't just a catalog. It's a living, breathing music tool that grows with your collection, remembers what you love, and plays whatever moves you — physical or digital, owned or dreamed of. And did we mention it's free?
