About

Nudgr Records

Read full description

Nudgr Records is a collector's app for vinyl, CD and cassette. Your collection is the truth; Discogs enriches it. Every record you own is one row that is yours β€” with the pressing it actually is, the condition it is actually in, what you paid, where it lives and who has borrowed it. WHAT IT DOES β€’ A shelf that shows everything. Covers, cards or a list, hundreds of records without breaking a sweat. Search, sort by artist, title, year or date added, group by artist, format or decade. β€’ Filters that never lead to an empty shelf. Format and size, loans, records without covers, records still waiting for a Discogs match β€” each choice shows how many records it leaves. β€’ Find the exact pressing. Scan the barcode, or type a catalogue number or just artist and title. The app searches Discogs, expands the album into all its pressings and ranks them, telling you what matched: catalogue number, label, country, year. Narrow by medium, label, country, size and year, exclude the ones you have ruled out, and filter on the runout etching. β€’ Compare the centre labels. Lay every pressing's label out side by side and pick the one that matches the record in your hand. Tap a label for the full image set, notes and identifiers. β€’ "Do I already own this?" In the shop, scan the barcode or type a catalogue number and get a straight answer in a second β€” offline, from your own collection, across all your shelves. β€’ Everything about your copy. Media and sleeve condition on the Discogs grading scale, purchase price and date, storage location, rating, your own notes, and your own photos of the actual copy alongside the Discogs images. β€’ Lending. Lend a record, see who has what, take it home again. β€’ Import your existing catalogue. Bring a CLZ Music export in, match it against your public Discogs collection, and let the app link what it can. What it cannot decide lands in a to-do list with three tabs: link, pick pressing, confirm. β€’ Sync between devices. Sign in with your e-mail β€” no password β€” and the same collection is on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC and the web. Works offline; changes sync when you are back online. FREE AND HONEST Nudgr Records is free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Made by Linri AB, Sweden. Nudgr Records is not affiliated with Discogs. Discogs data is fetched live and never copied; cover art is shown from Discogs and belongs to its rights holders.
