If you are a music lover, and one of those old farts who actually owns music on physical media, you’re probably aware of the Music collection management site, Discogs.
Being one of those (old farts I mean) I grew annoyed of launching App Support to look up things there, and always buying records twice, so I started making a native app.
Editing/Submitting release information and pictures
Doing whatever’s possible without using a login/key
Maybe something like scanning barcodes, but I really do not want to re-create a full scanning app, rather integrate with e.g. CodeReader in some way (#6).
Heh. First screen, a breeders album I actually have on vinyl. I don’t actually use discogs because I onlly buy about 3 albums a year, but it’s great that it’s hear. Uhmm, is this the old farts section? What were we talking about?
Well i suppose that, if buying and selling will not be supported (which is ok of course) it would be nice at least to have the ability inside a record page to at least open the buying page on the browser
I suppose you can put a pulley to open the page in browser where you already display various prices for the record
Main reason is there’s no API by Discogs for it. Not even for listing Purchases. And I’m reluctant to reverse-engineer something around that.
There is support (in the API) for inventory management and order viewing (both as a seller) but I don’t use that.
You’ll be happy to know then that this is coming in 0.10.1 and up:
Hehe. Should have used some kind of affiliate link
Have fun! Especially finding out you don’t actually own that record you thought you owned because yours lacks the one flyspeck sized logo somewhere on the inner sleeve which makes it a completely different release.
Looks like a solid Discogs client (at least for my needs). Could you please add the ability to also view one’s friends collections/wantlists? Helps me when I want to buy a gift for them
