Dead Format vs The Honey Groove

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 deserve better than a spreadsheet. The Honey Groove is where collectors catalog what they own, follow what it's worth, share what they're spinning, and trade with people who actually care about the pressing. Built for collectors, by a collector. The Vault: Catalog your collection in minutes with one-click import. Every pressing, variant, and condition grade in one place, with live community valuations so you always know what your shelves are worth. Log your gear alongside the records. The Hive: A feed for collectors, not an algorithm. Post what's on the platter, answer the Daily Prompt, keep your listening streak alive, and find the people whose taste you trust. The Honeypot: Buy, sell, and trade peer to peer with honest condition grading and low seller fees. No auction games, no mystery grading. Nectar: Discover pressings, rooms, and collectors tuned to what you already love. The Wax Report: Your listening recapped weekly, monthly, and yearly as a share card. Spins, top genre, most-played, and the covers that carried it. Made to post. Free to join. Bring your shelves.
