Vinyl-Tracking Apps

The Discogs App Lets You Access a Wealth of Information On Vinyl Records

— March 1, 2016 — Tech
The brand new and improved Discogs app makes it easier than ever for users to keep tabs on online databases for vinyl records, enabling them to have a better understanding of a marketplace that is home to over six million records in a wide variety of formats and versions.

This app is completely free of charge, and what's great about is that it essentially looks like a mobile version of the Discogs website. This means that if you're well accustomed to using the website to enhance your knowledge of the vinyl record marketplace, you'll have no problems adapting to the Discogs app.

However, the Discogs app's highlight is certainly its barcode scanner, which enables you to use your smartphone's own camera to scan the barcode on any record in order to access detailed information about it, enabling you to make a more informed and satisfying purchase or trade.


Trend Themes
1. Vinyl Marketplace Tracking - Developing apps that improve the ability of users to track the vinyl marketplace through online databases and detailed information
2. Barcode Scanners for Collectibles - Designing apps that allow users to use their smartphone cameras to scan barcode and access detailed information in the collectible market
3. Mobile Marketplaces for Collectibles - Creating apps that offer an innovative mobile platform for buying and selling collectibles, such as vinyl records
Industry Implications
1. Music Retail - The use of vinyl-tracking apps offers music retail businesses the opportunity to enhance their inventory management, marketing and customer experiences from in-store to online
2. Collectibles Retail - Integrating barcode scanners and mobile marketplaces for collectibles into retail operations can create differentiation, drive brand loyalty and tailored customer experiences
3. App Development - Developing innovative and intuitive apps for tracking and trading collectibles, such as vinyl records, can tap into the potential of growth and profitability in the app industry
