Dead Format vs Vinyl Portfolio

Dead Format is a community for vinyl collectors to share what they're listening to, talk about records, connect with fellow collectors, and more! Post what you're spinning, show off your latest pickups or listening setup, take part in monthly Vinyl Challenges, join conversations in the forums, organize your collection, find record stores, and buy and sell vinyl. One of the main features of Dead Format is the Home feed, and it works more like old-school social media. There's no weird algorithm deciding what you should see. The Following feed shows you every post from everyone you follow, in order, so you can actually keep up with what they're sharing. You can also browse the Discover tab whenever you want to see more popular posts and highlights from what's being shared by the rest of the community. Every month, there's a new Vinyl Challenge with a different prompt each day. Join in whenever you want, share a record that fits the day's prompt, browse everyone else's choices, and discover some new records and collectors along the way. The forums are a place for longer conversations, questions, recommendations, polls, and anything else that doesn't really fit into a regular post. Keep track of your collection and Want List, filter your records by artist, format, and more, upload your own photos, and track how often you're playing each record. You can even scrobble your spins to Last.fm. You can also find record stores near you or browse stores in other cities, save your favorites, tag them when you post about a recent visit or pickup, and help contribute any stores that might be missing. There's a Marketplace too, built around listings with real photos of the records being sold. Buyers can make offers, see shipping costs before checkout, and pay directly through the app. Sellers can list individual records or bundles, manage offers, and purchase discounted USPS shipping labels.

Your records, rendered as they really are. Scan a barcode or a catalog number and find the exact pressing you own, down to the color of the vinyl. Then follow what it's worth, catch your artists on tour, and share your shelf with friends. YOUR SHELF, DRAWN TRUE • Every variant drawn as the disc you own: coke-bottle teal, oxblood, smoky marble, galaxy, liquid-filled and dozens more, with real pressing photos where they exist • Pressing-level detail: colored variants, splatters, picture discs, limited editions, obi strips, test pressings • Vinyl, CDs and cassettes: CDs sit in their jewel cases and tapes in their shells • 7 inch and 10 inch records sit at their real size next to your LPs FIND YOUR PRESSING • Scan a barcode or a catalog number, or search by artist and title • Pick the exact pressing you own from every version of the album • Connect Discogs once and your collection and wantlist come in, with new additions following on their own.
