    I recently cataloged all my vinyl on Discogs, and started using folders to track which actual bin or shelf each record lives in. That way, I can search my collection online and know exactly where to find it IRL.

    To make life easier, I built a simple iOS app that scans a QR code label stuck on the record sleeve and tells me where it belongs. Handy when I’ve been digging through stacks, DJing, or just too lazy to put things back properly.

    You can also update the bin/shelf (aka folder) straight from the app if you move stuff around, no need to open Discogs manually.

    It’s my first iOS app ever, pretty minimal, but it fixes a problem I had. Maybe it helps you too? welcome!

    The alphabet already does this.

    Not everyone sorts alphabetically… some do genre/label/etc :)

    This is a super practical idea—combining Discogs' database with QR code tracking could make vinyl organization way easier, especially for larger collections. With the Discogs Scanner app on iOS, you can scan barcodes to quickly catalog albums, and now pairing that with QR codes for storage bins or shelves means faster access and less time digging through crates.

    A solid workflow could look like:

    Assign a QR code to each storage location (box, shelf, crate).

    Link each QR to a simple note or spreadsheet that includes the Discogs ID of each record stored there.

    When scanning, you could instantly pull up a list of what’s in that box—or even link it to a custom Discogs folder or tag.

    Would love to see native QR tagging as a feature in the app itself down the line. Anyone else already using this method or something similar?
