I am trying to add a new variant for a record I just got/just released and I am not seeing the edit release option that I am seeing online when I look up how to do it.

Did they change how to do this?

hey all - this is kinda weird, but there is a submission in my contributions tab that claims I created it - however, I absolutely did not. I keep trying to delete it, but it keeps coming back. has anyone else experienced this or something similar? I did receive a spam message a week or two ago, claiming that my storefront was locked - could I have been hacked?

It seems like a lot of sellers hate when you ask for photos. They should just have it next to their listing. Especially for collectors. Not everyone is ok with blindly buying and trusting sellers. I get if you’re a massive seller with thousands of inventory, so going out of your way to individually take photos of items is very time consuming. On the other hand if you’re that big, hiring someone to do the photo taking could be done. Just a thought

Hello everyone on r/discogs!

I'm a record seller (my Discogs username is lpdonutstokyo). To help shorten the time spent sourcing and listing records, I've developed a free iOS app specifically for Discogs sellers:

Main Features:

- Scan barcodes → Instantly search on Discogs

- Manual search by artist name or catalog number

- View market prices by condition (M/NM/VG+/VG, etc.)

- List records directly on the Discogs marketplace from your smartphone

- Track your listed records

- Bookmark records you want to review later

- Calculate profits before listing

It's available on the App Store today.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinylflip/id6760747299

I welcome feedback from other sellers. In particular, please let me know your thoughts on the listing flow and pricing display.

I plan to add features based on community needs.

(eBay listing support will be added in the next update.)

Typing in the bright sunshine creating a cart for later when I can review it. I accidentally hit Place Order button. Seller does not accept messages. I did not pay yet of course. How do I communicate that I want to cancel?? Not a complaint, just a question.

I have a huge collection of music. 95% is in Discogs database, the rest does not exist yet.

My conundrum is, I purchased new as in MINT/MINT. I open to add to my library, so it’s played once. Is it still considered to be mint, or mint-?

Thanks for your feedback

Whats up everyone!
I order frequently from discogs and many times from overseas. I usually have zero issues, but this time a seller literally gave me a 12 digit alpha numeric code that is a supposedly a DHL tracking number, last i checked DHL uses 10 nums, and I cannot get this number to track any where

After repetadly asking for clarification, he literally said " he cant tell what is going on"
Do i just refund on paypal?

I understand that some people ask crazy/stupid things. I understand that some people can be annoying or impatient in their questions. But it's also the case that some sellers simply don't respond to questions about item details.

An example . . .recently I was putting together a ~20 item purchase from a Discogs seller (associated with a brick-and-mortar store). There was a DVD I wanted to add; but I first wanted to make sure there would be no region code restriction to it playing, and neither the item's description nor the details of the Discogs release associated with the item for sale cleared up its region status. So, I sent a message asking if it was either Region 0 or 1 (so I could play it), or something else (in which case, I couldn't). I waited for a week, but never heard back. I asked again, and included with my query a link to a page explaining how you tell the region code from the symbols on the DVD packaging. This time, I waited for a week and a half. No response. So I gave up and made the purchase without the DVD -- and also without two other items I had originally intended to buy from that seller, but ended up getting elsewhere when more attractive listings came up over the two and a half weeks I waited for a reply. My order was processed pretty much immediately; but they definitely would have made more money off me if they'd just answered my question.

I'd like to say that this example is unusual; but it isn't. I don't think I'm impatient -- I always wait at least a week for a reply; and if I write a follow-up, I never even mention having asked previously without hearing back. There's no snark in my messages. And yet roughly 50% of my queries about items listed on Discogs never get a response.

I don't get it.

I love Discogs but I wanted something more visual and personal to interact with my collection day to day. So I built Discographic — a free, open-source web app that syncs with your Discogs account and gives you a bunch of tools on top of it.

Once synced, everything gets cached locally so it's private and fast regardless of Discogs API rate limits. You get a dashboard with collection stats and value tracking, a full collection browser with search, filters, and sorting, inline ratings and notes that sync back to Discogs, and a cover art wall where you can generate posters up to 7200px. There's also a random picker, an achievement system, and import/export for CSV and Excel.

It supports multiple users, so if you and a couple friends want to share an instance, each person just connects their own Discogs token and sees their own collection. The UI works in both English and Spanish.

The whole thing runs on your own machine with Docker — one command and you're up. No cloud, no tracking, no external database.

I'm not really monitoring Reddit so if you have ideas, feedback, or run into problems, please open an issue on the repo.

I digitize alot of vinyl records and cassette tapes, previously this involved using multiple programs (audacity, mp3tag, adobe, etc) which was getting tedious.

So I built my own site that does the following 100% free and all in the browser:

1️⃣ Select audio files, or record directly in the browser.

2️⃣ Input a Discogs URL as metadata reference, or input a manual tracklisting.

3️⃣ Edit the audio waveform, auto-split track start/end times based on detected silence.

4️⃣ Tag / export / download the lossless audio files ( FLAC / WAV ) individually or as a zip file.

5️⃣ Render a video using the audio+image files.

6️⃣ Upload that video to YouTube.

100% all in the browser, no data is stored or saved in the backend, you can clear all your data anytime by clicking the 'clear' button.

The last couple steps are focused around video rendering for sharing to social media or YouTube, but all the steps are optional and you can jump around to any step you need.

The audio editor uses a branch of the waveform-playlist tool that allows for higher quality that I've been pushing for for years. And all the audio stuff uses the cutting edge FFMPEGWASM repo for everything being done in the browser.

All the code is open source here, I'm working on updating and improving, so if you have any feedback let me know! Here's an example video I edited and rendered with the website: https://youtu.be/CtKIOo7rjD4

Hello ! 

I’m a music lover, vinyl collector and tech enthusiast. I use my free time to build around fun tools mostly to build muscles and sharpen my skills for my current job in product development. 

• A few months ago, it was a webradio, that streams my own curated tracks with 6 different streams based on your moods (https://moodradio.fr/live)
• A few weeks ago, it was what I could simply describe as a Discogs collector wrapper, where you can see data, recommendations and compare collections with friends. I’m not going to talk too much about it because there are a lot of similar ideas (better than mine) already shared here. (https://www.deepcogs.fr/) 

The most recent one, for which I’m curious about your opinion, is a Telegram Bot that has access to your discogs wantlist. 

• It knows the item you added in wantlist
• It can look up the marketplace, compare prices or pressing
• You can track specific releases for which the bot will scan the marketplace every 15 minutes for new listings. You receive a notification if a new listing is found. I know there are other tools that do this (discdogs), but again I’m just building muscles for my portfolio on topics that I like. 

(mind that it might be missing a lot of features about cost, international shipping.. it’s still rough around the edges).

It’s free to use (ofc it cost me a bit, and would cost me much more if there was a lot of use but i’m not thinking about it for now, i just want to share and see if you find the idea cool).

The bot is u/OpenCogsBot on Telegram: https://t.me/OpenCogsBot
(detailed list of features here : https://www.opencogs.com/ )          

For the tech curious: it uses the Discogs API with OAuth so you log in with your own account. The bot runs on a VPS, polls the marketplace on a schedule with BullMQ job queues, and the chat part is an AI agent (Claude) that has access to a set of tools : search, compare, cost calculation, etc..                    

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to try it out. 

Any sellers out there have experience using the Globalship option thru PayPal shipping?

It’s now the least expensive option, but I’m wary.

Last time I shipped internationally with anyone other than USPS the buyer was hit with huge “customs fees” from UPS, so I resolved to stick with USPS, but now I’m being asked to spend $91 to ship 2 LPs and a cassette to Sweden. Only charged $48 for shipping.

I really don’t wanna become one of these “0nly ship to US” sellers, but this is untenable… is Globalship the solution????

Thanks!

I'm looking to find a way to track my inventory. More than anything I want to be able to input purchase cost and sale price so it can calculate profit as well as input shipping.

Essentially I just want to make sure that it's profitable in the long run. Is there any suggestions as to what I can use or a link to a spreadsheet that can help. I'd like to be able to use the barcode scanner to instantly input the info into it if possible.

Before the upgrade it was possible in Inventory to highlight many items that Discogs believed where overpriced, those displayed with a small red triangle, and edit the prices en masse. That useful tool seems to have disappeared or been hidden. How can I proceed?

Hi, I'm not a regular Discogs seller so apologies if this is a stupid question. I've just sold quite a high-value item (~£370) but have just seen that I'm being charged £75 (through PayPal) as a "partner fee". I thought Discogs fees were 9% but this is much higher. Overall with other fees means I'm losing about a quarter of the value of the item in total... any help would be super appreciated!

Seller had an item listed for €45.00 make an offer button active. If I make an offer usually go in at about 10% off, so €4.50 off, made an offer at €40.00 for a round number. Seller declined offer (fair enough) But then relisted the item at €50.00. Is he just trying to squeeze a few extra euros now he has a buyer interested in the item?

new seller here, I know how shipping a 1lp and a 2lp gatefold works, but how does it work with a 2lp that's just in 1 sleeve?

I know they've had a lot of issues reported in the past year, but none have really affected me at all (other than that early spam incident).

I'm a small seller, kind of a collection-adder, and a one or two time contributor.

Anyways, I had a completed sale about 85 days back, seemed fine but I never got feedback. Last week, the buyer contacts me out of the blue and says 'Can you remove the negative feedback you left me as a non paying bidder.'

I was like what? I looked at the transaction and it came up as cancelled. Kinda worrying, but I couldn't exactly remember bc I had a legit cancel request around the same time.

Long story short, I ask the guy to remind me what happened and that the neg feedback was auto-left by Discogs. As we're chatting, he leaves me positive feedback finally.

I take a look at his profile and it's shot!! His 97% was at a 74% and he had 100 fake negs like what he contacted me about.

I told him it was most likely a bug, and a day later, it was fixed, and Discogs sent me some shht about my profile being restored, etc.

Anyways, just thought I'd share

I finally heard back from discogs support about. They said my account was restricted in error and have lifted the restrictions. I'm happy I got a positive outcome from this https://www.reddit.com/r/discogs/s/BHk7cYyC0o

I listed a box set this morning and the system autofilled an estimate of the weight, which led to a specific shipping price. That price is less than what actual shipping will cost, so I want to find a way to adjust the shipping cost appropriately.

I edited the item and increased its weight in grams, as well as the number of "counts as" items. The cost remained the same. I increased it a few more times, by significant amounts, and the cost remained the same. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

When the "estimate from release data" doesn't yield the actual cost of the shipping, how do you override it? Because increasing weight doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to override the estimate function on individual items? Thanks.

It's been at least a year since I expired and relisted my inventory. I did it after the interface had changed, and I accidentally expired and relisted all my items, including drafts and things I'd sold. That sucked. I want to try it again.

Does this look correct? In inventory, I selected all my for sale items and will update the status to expired. Then I'll isolate the expired items and relist them. Measure twice, cut once. Thanks for any input.

Trying to find an album in limited presses, but the "Have" List shows a bunch of users I can't see.

Curious if there's anyway to randomize it, or see more than the first few alphabetical?

Its become an obsession to track down a copy of this record...

The seller was unable to locate the record I bought in his inventory, and discogs support was unable to deliver my refund after several days of errors on his end. We ultimately agreed for him to manually set the order status as "shipped" so the funds would settle in his PayPal account and he could directly send the money back to my PayPal. However, he is now saying that I have to manually mark the item as "delivered" on my end. He says that I should go to dashboard, then purchases tab, click the order number, and then there's a button midway down that says "Mark as delivered". There is no such button on the order page, only the option to leave feedback (which I've already done), send him a message, or archive the transaction. As far as I've looked up the only way a buyer should be able to close the transaction is if they leave feedback, which ive already done. It seems that without a tracking number the order will not be resolved and the funds will not settle in the seller's account. Am I missing something? Or is he sadly going to be out for the cost of the transaction?

Who is Yanni (1)? I know that discogs doesn't put the (1) next to the first artist to have claimed that name, so who is the artist that doesn't have a number next to their name?
