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. Turn an Apple Music playlist into a crate: Vinyl Crate finds each song on a record you own, and you review the matches before they're added. 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. SELL FROM YOUR SHELF Ready to let a record go? Sell This Copy lists it on Discogs with your copy's grades and Discogs' suggested price, and shows the fee before you commit. The Selling tab keeps your For Sale, Draft and Sold listings and your orders together, so you can price, edit, end and ship without opening a browser. Selling needs seller settings on your Discogs account. 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.
