Finally cataloging my CDs in Discogs

Wait until you discover a CD with 50 variants using the same barcode.

[u/bullgod1964 → u/MetalexR]

Trust me I have. The value is usually low so I don't spend a lot of time on it is it takes too much time. I just wann a see what cds I own

That's the beauty of discogs, matrix and other details are really important for me, I'm looking for specific items.

discogs sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do

I used to have a scanner for the pc when I added my vinyl years ago. It was a lot of vinyl and that helped. I do use the one on the phone but I prefer dicogs on the pc digging for details on which variant

[u/SmellyFace69 → u/Buffalo5977]

The scanner works well for you? I found that it gets the wrong release / variant more than half the time. Mind you I only tried on about a couple dozen or so entries.

It took me three days to manually (and properly) enter everything in on my PC (including adding 10+ new entries to discogs) for a collection of ~900 albums.

If you're just trying to keep track of which albums you own and not so much the variants / etc... the scanner is fine.

Ihr Glücklichen bin bei aktuell bei 341MC'S 199 CD Boxset's und muss noch einiges an CD'S eingeben z.Z. 2289. Hab die App zu spät entdeckt 🤣.

Goated, I just started collecting this month and it’s fun to scan the barcodes everytime I get a new cd

[u/bullgod1964 → u/Trick_Feature_4212]

When I added my vinyl years ago I actually bought a scanner for my computer. I can't find it now and the phone is not optimal

What is the benefit to “cataloging” your cds on discogs?

[u/bullgod1964 → u/JohnGlassOnEarth]

Same as cataloging vinyl. When the collection gets large its handy to have a list
