- Shuffle the crate
- Fisher–Yates across every clip Discogs has for your collection, spread so the same release never lands back to back.
- Filter, then shuffle
- Style, label, artist, country, decade, tempo — every option counted from your own records. Cut the crate down, then shuffle what's left.
- Playlists on the fly
- Tap + (or A) while something plays. Reorder by drag, view by artist, genre, BPM or year, play in order or shuffled. Private to you — or build one together with collaborators you invite.
- Know it'll beatmatch
- Tap the BPM in as you listen, or let it detect. Every transition in a playlist checked against your decks' pitch range.
- Dig from anything
- Dig from any record (D on a keyboard): the whole EP, everything you own that connects to it, and the versions, remixers and labels you don't own yet.
- Both lists, both ways
- Shuffle the wantlist like a crate. Search Discogs for a record that just arrived and put it in your collection. Adding is the only thing this app writes.
Where the audio comes from. Discogs stores YouTube links against releases, and that is what plays here. YouTube’s API terms require the player stay visible at a minimum size, so it sits in the corner doing the job album art would — every control you use is this app’s. Nothing is downloaded or re-hosted.
What this app stores. Your Discogs token lives in an encrypted, HttpOnly cookie and nowhere else — never in a database. Your collection index stays in this browser and is never uploaded. Playlists and your BPM catalogue are stored against your account so they follow you between devices; they are private: no route serves them to anyone but you and the collaborators you choose to let in.
What it does on your behalf. It reads your collection and wantlist, and only writes when you press something. The heart puts a record on your wantlist, and pressing it again takes it off. Add on a Discogs search result puts that one record in your collection — and nothing here can take it back out, on purpose: there is no remove-from-collection anywhere in this app, so no button, no bug and no crafted request can reach one. It never posts, comments, or lists anything for sale.
