Vinyl Record Collection App
Vitrine is a vinyl record collection app that lets collectors catalog pressings by label, country, and matrix. Record condition grades, track values, and share your collection publicly. A dedicated collection manager, not a marketplace.
Why record collectors choose Vitrine
Discogs is a marketplace, not a collection manager
Discogs is excellent for buying and selling. But its collection feature is secondary — limited custom fields, no condition notes beyond a basic grade, and your data exists to serve the marketplace, not you.
CLZ Music requires a desktop install
CLZ Music is a capable app, but it runs on Windows or Mac as a local install. You cannot access your collection from another device without syncing.
No public-facing showcase
Most record collectors want to show their collection to others. Vitrine gives you a public page that people can browse without needing an account.

Frequently asked questions
How is Vitrine different from Discogs?
Discogs is a marketplace and database. Its collection feature is a secondary tool built around buying and selling. Vitrine is a dedicated collection manager with no marketplace. Your data is yours and serves you, not a platform.
Can I record deadwax etchings and pressing details?
Yes. Vitrine has a notes field for every record where you can document matrix information, deadwax etchings, stamper codes, and any other pressing details.
How do I record condition for my records?
Each record has a condition grade field (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor) for quick filtering. Use the notes field to record more granular detail — media and sleeve condition, pressing quirks, deadwax etchings — in whatever format you prefer.
Can I track how much my collection is worth?
Yes. Enter a current estimated value for each record. Vitrine totals these up and shows your collection value. Update values whenever you want.
Can I import records I already have listed in Discogs?
Discogs lets you export your collection as CSV. On Professional plans you can import that file into Vitrine. Some field mapping will be required during the import step.
