AI only sees anonymous album metadata. You own your collection data completely. Anonymized usage data is gathered so we can improve the app and bring great new features. Most important is that you love the app. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most vinyl apps are digital spreadsheets focused on catalog value. Vinyl Sessions treats your collection like the cultural treasure it is. Helping you understand the music, discover connections, and actually listen to your records. Perfect for collectors who love liner notes, session players, and album stories. For people who want their vinyl played, not just cataloged. FROM THE DEVELOPER "Vinyl Sessions exists because spreadsheets drained the joy out of collecting. I wanted something that helped me understand my collection, looked beautiful, and reminded me to actually play my records. Vinyl is meant to be heard, not just cataloged. This app brings back the joy of discovery and reminds me of why I fell in love with vinyl in the first place."
