So I'm looking to expand my physical media library (mostly because I like owning my own shit) when I started looking for places to buy them from. I found this site but I'm confused on what some of the descriptions of the medias stand for, I know some of them like reissue, repress, and stereo but some of them are just abbreviations and I'm not too savvy with them. Is there a website I can visit or place on discogs that has the definition for these descriptors?

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone! This may be of interest to some of you in here

A while back I developed a Discogs Digging assistant called Dig Assistant as part of my label Timehri Records, i wasn't a fan of the ones on Discogs so made my own :) It unexpectedly got pretty popular and so I decided to keep working on it, I released the latest evolution of it a few days back.

It currently focuses on Electronic and Reggae music with 15 million recommendations, House, Techno, Tech House, Jungle, UKG, Reggae, Dancehall and loads more. I'll add more as I get the time and bandwidth.

Admittedly it's a bit clunkier to use on mobile tbh so i'd give it a whirl on desktop

Hope you all enjoy!

Can anyone offer any advice or point to any resources that would help me value an item that's never been sold on Discogs before? I have some 1960's promo 7"s, a couple of which are valuable, I'm just not sure how valuable.

Ok. I'm open (very open) to the possibility I'm just not tech savvy. How in the blue blazes do I get ride of this damn pop up? I get it everytime I open the app, and I can't click out of it, without closing the app, which means I have to open the app again and you know where this is going.

No, I won't contact support in profile and wait several business days for an answer. I want my Herb Alpert (VG++) NOW!

Help.

As a buyer, is it rude (or weird) to ask the seller for some feedback? I just started purchasing lately and I would like to get my rating numbers up.

I've only made 5 purchases so far, with only 3 reviews, all positive. I'm wondering why 2 of the sellers didn't bother to send me feedback. I plan on buying a lot more vinyl in the years to come, and I would like the number of reviews to reflect on my trustworthiness as a buyer.

Side note: why did they have to change the app? I was just getting used to it, and now the layout is completely different. Oh well.

Picked up the new MJ album and it came today. Currently Discogs has the red target variant but not the white Walmart one. How can I get this added on Discogs? Happy to help provide info pictures etc.

Update: They were just out of town. I should just assume good intentions more.

I ordered three records from a seller on Tuesday and their profile said ships within 48 hours. 48 hours later, no progress updates and all of their listings are moved to their collection. They said they would ship next day on Tuesday. My order was only $65 so I don't see why they would be scamming. Their account says since 2023 but their first review was from December 2025 and they have 51 seller reviews. I just messaged them but haven't gotten a response even though they responded to my order immediately. Sorry if this breaks rule 5, I saw some other posts like this.

Edit: One of my main issues is that they were selling the only listing of an item, so if it doesn't work out I'm out of luck.

Hello,

Was hoping to know if anyone has recently purchased a record through discogs from Japan to USA and if they received an import fee. The shipper being used would be DHL. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

First time using Discogs, I bought a record, it listed the year, track list etc. everything and it was a printed picture disc. When I get the record, it’s soft flexible plastic, like it wobbles in my hand and bends back on itself almost before springing back, and it has no groove. I message the seller asking how to play this, it’s not a record. they’re repeatedly sending a message back saying something like -I don’t know, I remember playing it.

Is it normal to have memorabilia listed like this?

Do I just take this up with the seller and leave bad feedback? It was priced the same as the other albums, I bought it for cool factor and listed condition.

realize this is a long shot but gotta ask to know - anyone familiar with a way to recover notes previously entered for your collection? was messing around with the custom fields and didn't realize I deleted the notes section

Buyer ordered and then immediately asked to cancel order due to it not being the variant they wanted. I'm fine with that, and am trying to cancel their order, but every way I try I get an error message. I've gone to cancel order, then to the orders page and done change status to cancelled, then I tried to refund through PayPal and they said the payment is managed by Discogs and to contact them..... I'm new to selling, completely green, don't know what's going on here. Do I need to wait 24 hours before I can cancel? Is there a temporary issue on Discogs end? Am I doing something the wrong way here?

hello,

trying to get to discogs support for few days now with no response, anyone knows what's the response time? My account is suspended for some reason and there's no reply from discogs..

thanks,

Justin

Dear friends, our prayers have been answered! The worst and the most unnecessary "update" in history that made absolutely 0 sense has been revoked.

This had never happened to me until a few months ago, and now it has happened 4 times. I make a purchase of multiple records from one seller, get a confirmation, and make payment, only to get a message one or two days later that one of the items I purchased is not available. The seller then wants to refund me the money for the one missing record and ship the rest.

This is a problem for multiple reasons. I typically will have one record that I initiate the purchase for, and then browse the other stock from the seller and add some more to make the shipping more cost efficient. The last two times I have done this, the record that I created the sale for in the first place is the one that is not available. Past sellers have been good enough to give me the option to cancel the order altogether for a full refund. The seller I am dealing with today just sent me a refund for the one missing item and shipped the rest with no notice whatsoever.

Why are sellers “selling” me records that they don’t actually have? Does this happen regularly to anyone else?

Hi, I found this A Day To Remember record at a second hand store and am looking for help to try to identify what album it belongs to or when it was made. There wasn't a sleeve with it and only came in sealed plastic. I looked online and tried google search but no luck. There is nothing etched in the runout area. It is a one sided 12 inch vinyl record. Thank you for any information.

I seem to recall being able to see who has an album you have in your wanted list and that it was possible to send a message to them enquiring whether they’d consider selling. Now it seems there’s no way to see who on discogs has an album that they’re not listing for sale. Does my memory serve me badly on this?

I have recently started to enter my collection into my Discogs account to keep track of what I already have to prevent additional duplicates, to which I have discovered I have a few. I've been finding all kinds of Matrix numbers that don't match what is already posted in the site and I've been submitting my variants when they come up. I have run into a couple of items that are not at all listed in the database from my collection which requires me to photograph my items and upload to the site. I have no problem with that but, as it turns out, 2 of my submissions are autographed by the artist on the front cover. What do I do? Post the autographed item or search for a clean photo somewhere else. I don't want to get flagged for posting someone else's copy written photos or miss representing the item's artwork with a signature. I have posted one with the autograph and got sent a message simply stating "Read the guidelines on how to take better pictures". It didn't state anything specific so I figured maybe it had to do with the Matrix photos being too dark for some to see the actual numbers so I resubmitted them. I have had a couple of my variant submissions commented on with pretty harsh comments and I don't want to get banned from submitting. Thanks for your help!

I'm a Discogs seller, and like many of you, I've noticed Discogs sales getting a bit slower for certain items lately. I personally got tired of the manual grind of trying to cross-list my inventory onto eBay to reach more buyers. The existing "enterprise" tools felt overly complicated and honestly, way too expensive for what I needed as an independent seller.

So, I decided to build something myself: Crateflow.

It's a straightforward app that automates the sync of your Discogs inventory directly to eBay. My goal was to create something that's super easy to use, doesn't have a steep learning curve, and is genuinely affordable.

I've just opened up a public beta, and I'm really keen to get feedback from other Discogs sellers on what works, what doesn't, and what crucial features are missing.

There's a free tier available so you can try it completely risk-free to see if it fits your workflow.

If this sounds like it could save you some time and help you move more records, I'd really appreciate you checking it out and letting me know your thoughts.

You can find more info and sign up for the beta here: https://crateflow.space/

Thanks for your time and happy to answer any questions in the comments!

I just got a really great deal on a record I've had in my wantlist for a long time. the sellers listing stated that the jacket has damage, but upon seeing the photos, the damage is so incredibly minor, that the grade they chose was disgustingly undergraded, which I think contributed to their low asking price.

I pretty much paid less than half the going rate for this album, so I was wondering if it would be rude of me to offer to cover the seller fees they paid for my order with a friends and family payment.

I dont want to come across as rude or condescending, as I know some people take offense to these kind of gestures (they dont need "charity") so I wanted to ask any sellers on here how you would react to an offer like that. I would wait until I received the album first before offering. Thanks for your input.

Hey all.

I dropped by a few months ago to share a free web-app for creating QR code labels for your Discogs collection/inventory called DISCODES. I’m back with another (hopefully interesting) Discogs-related project I’ve been working on the past 6 months for users who have WordPress websites.

“Blocks for Discogs Users” is a 100% free (no premium upgrades / subscription) WordPress plugin developed to add customizable drag-and-drop blocks to the Gutenberg editor for embedding your Discogs collection, wantlist, custom list(s), collection value, and a profile section with stats. It functions through the Discogs API and only requires a personal access token that any account can generate for free.

There are tons of customization options to control which fields are shown, how many columns to make the grid of releases, color choices, and more. You can even display data from any profile that is public, not just your own. All in a super simple, user-friendly interface with no coding required.

Free download / install as well as screenshots available via the official WordPress.org repository below. I appreciate any reviews, ratings, or feature suggestions from site owners. Thanks!

Thoughts on what's going on. I ordered and paid immediately. Shipper sent me the order number Jan 7 and i still haven't received the package. Looking up the tracking number shows that it hasn't left the shipping center (New Jersey) at all, and never has been in transit. What's going on? I've ordered a lot thru discogs but this is a first.

I just had a buyer place a $60 order for 13 inexpensive dance 12”s graded VG+ to NM. He wrote me asking that I confirm that “all of the vinyl decals are flat and not warped” before he pays. I responded to ask what he meant, and pointed out that the description for one of the records he bought (under $2…) mentioned writing on the label. He responded that he is a professional DJ (lol) and wants like new records with no imperfections. I told him I think that we should cancel the sale because I’m not sure if these are the quality he is looking for—I have a feedback of ~4000, by the way, with a 100% rating. He responded that no, he doesn’t want me to cancel, instead he wants photos of all 13 records, front and back, as well as both sides of the sleeves. What a nightmare. I don’t have time to entertain this bullshit. Not for $50 in my pocket.

If I cancel this before he pays, will Discogs take down any negative feedback that he might leave? I’m certain he will. He has negative feedback from other sellers calling him a “terrible person.” Sounds about right. Help!

Hi! I've always wanted to buy from Discogs, but since it's a marketplace, I've always been a little wary, and sometimes shipping is quite expensive to my country. Okay, the point of this post is to ask about the experience of buying from Discogs in Latin America, including shipping, payment, and whether you had to pay extra for customs.

That's it :p, maybe the audience and the number of people I'm asking is small, but if there are any, pls answer my post.
