Stackwax is the shelf for DJs. You hear a track. You need the BPM, the key, the Camelot code. You need it in your library before the night is over. You want to buy it on vinyl. StackWax does all of it in one tap. Hold your phone up. StackWax identifies the track, detects the BPM and key in real time, gives you the Camelot code, and shelves it directly into your library. Then the library works for you. Sort by BPM, by key, by Camelot. Drag tracks into playing order and sketch your next set before you step behind the decks. When you find something you want on vinyl, tap through to the Discogs listing and buy it without leaving the app. Connect your existing Discogs collection and import your records. Everything in one place, organised the way DJs think. Built for DJs who take music seriously. Works in clubs, record shops, at home, anywhere music is playing. Free to start. No credit card required.

About

DiggerPocket:Vinyl Crate

Features
Read full description

The app for record collectors and vinyl DJs. A service you will find nowhere else, built around discovering your next record. DiggerPocket is not just a price checker. It is a toolbox for people who collect vinyl and DJs who play it. Share your shelves with diggers around the world, compare the lowest prices across the major marketplaces at a glance, and tap into BPM data measured and pooled by users — numbers no catalog can give you. There is also a world map of record shops and vinyl bars. Features that never lived in one place before, together in one app. ■ Your crate, in your pocket Your collection and wantlist sync both ways with Discogs. What you own and what you are hunting, right there in the shop. No more doubles bought by mistake, no more walking past the record you spent two years chasing. Your wantlist shows the lowest price currently listed. ■ The BPM no catalog has Discogs knows the label, the year and the matrix — but not the tempo. Measure it once and it stays with the record: your number, next to numbers from diggers worldwide who timed the same pressing. Records nobody has timed carry an estimate, drawn in gray with its source named, so it never passes for a reading someone took. ■ Setlists that flow Build sets from your own shelf. Place one record and your crate re-orders itself around it — closest tempo first, with the BPM gap at every transition. Keep a record of what you played and where, and sketch the next night in advance. ■ Identify a record in seconds Point your camera at a sleeve. Hold your phone up to whatever is playing. Type a title. Share straight from Instagram or YouTube. Then see current prices side by side across Discogs, eBay, CDandLP and MusicStack — plus previews of every track. ■ Dig through legendary DJ mixes DJ-Kicks, FabricLive — the tracklists of mixes built from records, turned into lists you can dig through. Every track is a real pressing. Check the going rate on the spot and send it to your wantlist. Filter by genre. ■ Where to dig next Record shops and listening bars worldwide, on one map, with genres, hours and photos. Found one we do not have? Add it yourself. ■ With diggers everywhere Friends can browse each other's shelves — same sorting, same dividers as your own. Messages come with reactions and translation, so whatever you receive, you can read it in your language. Whether they are in Tokyo, London or Berlin. ■ What other diggers are hunting The records being searched for around the world right now. Who is searching stays private. Free. English, Japanese, German, French, Italian and Spanish. You only need an account when you want to carry your shelf with you.
