Questions

Is Vinyl Lookup free?

Yes, completely free, with no ads and no paid plan. I’m a longtime digger and made it for the digging community. If it helps you find your next record, you can buy me a coffee.

Do I need a Discogs account?

Yes, a free one. Discogs asks every app for a personal key. You create it once in Discogs under Settings, Developers, Generate new token, and paste it into Vinyl Lookup’s welcome page.

How does the price check work?

Vinyl Lookup reads the price on the page and compares it with the Discogs suggested price for a VG+ copy, or the lowest current listing. 15% or more below is a Good deal, within 15% is a Fair price, and 15% or more above is Above market. With fewer than 3 copies listed it says Not enough data instead of guessing. It’s a suggestion only, and Discogs prices exclude shipping.

Which browsers does it work in?

Google Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers that can load unpacked extensions, such as Microsoft Edge, Brave and Arc.

Is it on the Chrome Web Store?

Not yet. For now you install it from the download on this page, which always has the latest version.

What data does Vinyl Lookup collect?

None. There are no analytics and no servers of ours. The text you choose to look up is sent only to Discogs, and only when you click Check on Discogs. Your Discogs key is stored in your Chrome settings.

Is Vinyl Lookup made by Discogs?

No. Vinyl Lookup uses the Discogs API but is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Discogs.
