Cratto vs Record Picker

Manage your vinyl collection with Cratto—and rediscover the records you love. From cataloging your records and CDs and organizing them into crates to listening to matching albums on Apple Music, Cratto brings collecting and listening together on iPhone and iPad. 1. Your Vinyl Collection, Cataloged Keep a pocket-sized catalog of your records, with artwork, artists, tracklists, and release details, and note the media and sleeve condition of each copy using Discogs grading. At record shops and fairs, check what you already own and avoid buying the same record twice. 2. Your CDs, Too Add CDs from Discogs or with a barcode scan, and they get their own CD tab beside Vinyl in your collection and want list, each in its jewel case. Play a CD from Today's Pick, and a disc slides out of its sleeve. 3. Find Records with a Scan Scan a barcode or recognize a catalog number to find matching releases on Discogs. Spend less time typing, then compare release details to identify the exact edition in your hands. 4. Organize Your Way Crates appear automatically from your collection's genres, or create your own, add records, and arrange their order. Give each crate a finish: acrylic, walnut, aluminum, or wood and acrylic. Build a jazz shelf, gather your weekend favorites, or keep an artist's releases together. 5. Keep a Want List Save records you're interested in without mixing them into the collection you already own. A friend's recommendation, a find at the shop, an edition you're still hunting for: keep it on your list for your next dig. 6. Listen with Apple Music Find and play the matching album on Apple Music as you browse your records. Revisit your collection away from your turntable, or listen to an unfamiliar album before you go looking for a copy. You can also search for and collect digital albums. 7. Rediscover What You Own Let Today's Pick and Shuffle choose your next listen: a familiar favorite, or an album you haven't played in a while. On iPhone, add the Today's Pick widget to your Home Screen. 8. Make Artwork Part of the Experience Cratto Gold Record unlocks premium players inspired by vinyl, CDs, and album art: a record spinning under a tonearm, an aluminum CD player with the album printed on its spinning disc, and a player built around the cover. Choose classic black vinyl, colored styles such as marbled and clear splatter, or a picture disc, all colored by the album's artwork. Print a CD's cover or one color on its disc, or leave it silver, and give the CD player a white look with wooden ends. 9. Sync Across iPhone and iPad With Cratto Gold Record, turn on Library Sync to keep your collection, want list, condition grades, and crates up to date across your devices through your own iCloud account. Sync is optional and stays off until you turn it on. 10. At Home on iPad On iPad, Cratto spreads out with a sidebar layout in portrait and landscape, players designed for the larger screen, and keyboard shortcuts for playback. 11. Share Your Favorite Records Create a poster with a record's artwork and details to recommend a recent favorite. Add a release code that friends can scan with Cratto to find the same release. 12. Your Collection Stays Yours Your collection is stored on your device and, if you turn on Library Sync, in your own iCloud. There's no Cratto account and no Cratto server. Automatic local backups, plus backup export and import, let you keep a separate copy and restore it whenever you need. Please note: Record information is provided by Discogs.

Full playback requires an active Apple Music subscription and the appropriate authorization; availability varies by region and catalog.
