Discogs is better than DF in every way, but OK.

I look forward to reading this thread in a couple months and see if anyone's opinions changed once people learn how to actually use it. The complaints I'm reading are all invalid, as people just haven't figured out how to use it yet.

Anyone who leaves their house to move someplace safe, please don't forget to shut off your gas and breakers before you leave. Also, I know Juan would never leave behind his little baby pupper, but as for the rest of you, please no one leave your pets behind. That's shitty.

New Toadies album out 9/8. There's a limited signed, red vinyl with a gatefold option that's reasonable. Standard is $20 from the label. Currently it's $11.99 on Amazon Prime. http://store.kirtlandrecords.com/product/toadies-the-lower-side-of-uptown-signed-ltd-edition-red-gatefold http://store.kirtlandrecords.com/product/toadies-the-lower-side-of-uptown-vinyl https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WHRZW3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 A couple of songs have been released already. http://loudwire.com/toadies-mama-take-me-home-exclusive-song-premiere/

Need all the Richter

I signed up for both DF and Discogs at the same time when I started cataloguing and caring about my record collection after over a decade apart. I immediately found DF to be an entirely unacceptable website and to this day my head spins when people take such strong pro-DF stances. DF was an objectively poor quality databasing website and I have yet to hear a cogent negative complaint against Discogs but I am listening. If you're not the only person looking for such extensive cataloguing capabilities, then it sounds like you've noticed a new opportunity. If you can code and database, I'd recommend you give it a go. Since Discogs is for music - I don't think anyone is suggesting it as the solution for your music collection, plus your anime, Viva La Bam DVDs, Bartman comics, and fidget spinner collection. But seriously, if no one is making what you want (and it sounds like you looked), you should think about making it. This is fascinating to me. It sounds like you don't know how to use the filters built into Discogs despite it is so intuitive and easy. You can filter by different options which should cover nearly anyone's needs, plus choose how many items to show per page (up to 250), and change the page layout between three different views - large covers, text with covers, and text only. Using the filters can get you alphabetical and text only in a matter of seconds. To your complaint about difficulty in putting a collection together in discogs, it is a databasing website and (un)fortunately data quality is important so we're going to have to deal with the extra few seconds in choosing the actual pressing we have and contributing to the database. Seriously, spend a few minutes on the site clicking on things. If you still cringe about it, then learn how to use excel.

You can add all those details to each album in your collection. I do. Like I said most of the complaints are just from people who don't fully know how to use Discogs yet.

its happening. I talked to the merch guy after the show and he told me the whole story of getting the rights. he said Atlantic (Warner) sold them to a company in Europe, thats why it took so long to get the rights back. The are going to tour for it and have a repress available next year.

Yeah but the point of that is to create a uniform, accurate system. How many typos or incorrect variants do you think exist among all DF lists? Discogs has a higher barrier of data entry but so many more features. Most of the complaints in this thread are about how the features are too much effort even though they accomplish 10x more than DF if used well. If you don't want something more complex than DF wouldn't it just be easier to keep your own plain text list? Something I never understood which is why I gave up on DF

Deadformat is like making an angelfire site using Windows 95 sponsored by interpunk.

Track list: death grips is online flies black paint linda's in custody the horn section ha ha ha shitshow streaky dilemma little richard the fear outro disappointed

Awful bump. This thread is a constant disappointment. Just re-release the stuff people actually want.

Back up! https://oesbee.bandcamp.com/album/floral-shoppe

the rest of us would appreciate it if you added the TP as its own release.

You'll emerge a much different person. And always remember... call for help.

This is very unfortunate. I like Discogs but it sucks to browse through your collection and I hate having hundreds of little unread messages about changes to an item in my collection.

New season crushed and fucked me in the best way.

Ugh

I have never been in anything severer (i am in ontario canada) but man that shit freaks me out when I watch the news. Juan you better bunker down in Bangin Banjo Brewing! =)

Just lmk. I will be purchasing one and can easily order two! Literally sitting in a cubicle that day twiddling my thumbs!

3 days until UNREST is officially out!

Super stoked with what I got!

Thanks for the heads up! Product page was just reactivated too, with a "coming soon" bit added. https://www.shiptoshoremedia.com/store/albums/mother-2

White is the standard color, blue is the limited one. No black as of now.

Haven't been back since APOLLO

Mother 2 repress up on September 7th. Didn't specify time so I'd watch throughout the day (probably around noon) if anyone is interested. https://www.shiptoshoremedia.com

I feel like anyone who thinks DF was the superior product also still uses a Zune to listen to their MP3s......

I use both Discogs and DeadFormat and see the value in both but much prefer the simplistic look and how customizable DF was when browsing lists. I could type in whatever info I want (i.e. color, limited pressing numbers) and could upload the picture I took and posted to my Instagram account of that record. Discogs is nice in that it will detail the exact pressing that I have, which I like, especially for older stuff. Anyone know of any other sites to create a customizable list and upload pictures associated with it? I guess it doesn't really have to be a vinyl specific site. Also, any idea how to download all of the pictures I've uploaded to DF without doing it individually?haha

I was blown away by how it all came together (In 17) and then gave us even more questions to think about (In 18), leaving it open to continue somehow later on (in a new season/book/or even not at all.) I can't wait to rewatch it all. Part 17 was my favorite episode of Twin Peaks ever.

discogs seems to be pretty useless for the stuff i care about, like colors, numbers, pressing numbers, etc... you don't see any of that stuff really in a discogs collection deadformat was much easier to format my list the way i liked the information displayed, looks like google docs for my future

Just wanted to brag a bit and thought you guys might like seeing some decent pics. Had to spend a pretty penny on it but it's totally worth it. Cover and vinyl: Flower etching indicating mastering by Brian Gardner: Parental advisory sticker still intact: Back:

Same here, I also sort with a folder for linked artists so I will have a folder for the major band and then all side projects and solo things can be grouped under the same folder. Just click on the headers and it will sort it in whichever column you've clicked on and the direction of sort you choose. Also yes it should be the exact variant if the user has catalogued their collection properly.

Can't say we haven't seen this coming for years now. Good riddance.

Not sure if it was mentioned in here, but Barnes and Noble has signed copies of Sleep Well Beast available. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sleep-well-beast-the-national/31387677?ean=0191400002036

Always preferred Dead Format for the ease of use and ability to upload pictures. Bummer.

I've always preferred browsing lists on DeadFormat. Having to sift through multiple webpages in someone's collection on Discogs was an annoyance and still is. DeadFormat was simple and neat. Bummer.

All the "rich kids" in middle school had these in their packed lunch. I ate my free lunch while watching in envy.

fuck this dude

wow. homeboy was selling heroin on reddit: https://www.gomn.com/news/mn-heroin-dealer-arranged-sales-on-reddit-murder-charge-says pretty tarded if you ask me.

Nope....never heard of any of those.

Just contact the FBI like I did.

Agree with using it on Brand New vinyl - you did good OP

pretty sure it crackles because you cleaned it with windex

you're looking for a halo in a haystack

HT without Travis has = zero purchases for me.

I (very poorly) made a gif of it immediately after the episode first aired. I consider myself in on the ground floor for all Community related memes. But yeah, I got excited to have a legit reason to use it.
