hms1108 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi Everyone, I am currently in my final year of my music business degree and I am looking at creating an app based around vinyl and vinyl collection. In order to do this I have created a survey for market research based around Vinyl purchasing and collecting. It is only 2-3 minutes long and I would be grateful if anyone with a spare moment would be able to fill this in https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PBDKFP8 Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone doing this kind of survey needs to just go to diacogs, copy it, and add some extra functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 We really should just collectively figure out what features could be added or improved upon with the Discogs app, pin a post with that info and direct people there every time. Or not because we don't owe these people anything. MCDELTAT and hippielauryn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 In a lot of cases these surveys are for hypothetical projects that are not intended to be developed (I can't speak for this one). When you do the survey you're helping someone graduate. As someone who had 3 internships and is finishing his master's this year I can assure you it's a big help if you have a couple minutes no matter what the topic is. erasedtapes, YesPlease, ex lion tamer and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be sympathetic if this forum wasn't already rife with discussion regarding this exact topic. It's all there for them to find with the search function.

cannonfunk Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 hour ago, Tommy said: Discogs has an app already, FYI And it fucking blows. I downloaded it at launch and instantly deleted it. Much easier to use the site itself in most cases. If Discogs put a fraction of the millions of dollars they make annually into their app, it could be amazing. Someone like OP could easily come along and make a better one, but Discogs is the only company that has the pre-existing database & infrastructure. OP seems to be focused on an app that deals in new vinyl. and that's something people might find useful... if it works. Give me an app that scrapes prices from all of the major retailers in real-time, utilizing price history (like camelcamelcamel) in order to sort by discounted price trends, in addition to the ability to apply discount codes (like the Honey extension), and I'd use the shit out of it.

I literally did this when I was getting my BS in Music Business. I had to "start a company" by writing out a full business proposal with fully fleshed out 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year and 3-5 year plans. I came to VC and asked people to take a survey as well. My paper was just over 80 pages, which was the longest thing I'd ever written, and it wasn't even for a real business. Also, who cares if Discogs "already has this." Just because there was one website to store your documents in the cloud, does that not mean that someone couldn't develop something to do it better? Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, Box, etc... they're all the same, but different. We all know that you don't just stop creating things because something already exists.

Not an app but there was some dude on here who developed a website that basically does what you’re asking, it was pretty slick. I’ll link it when I find it found it Edited February 19, 2020 by Tommy deftbarley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll link it when I find it found it Thanks for the bump Tommy! I'm still working on this in my free time. I use it a lot. It's also very handy to save a little list of records you're looking for while in brick and mortar stores. I've wanted to add a bunch more features but I've been mainly focusing on making sure the scrapers are staying up to date and showing relevant data. I have a long list of things I'd like to add to it. Open to making anything a priority if it's useful. backpackoat, Tommy and hippielauryn 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Also, just guessing if it was a member with any previous posts, people would be more likely to help. (You know unless he was me). But coming in and posting only one post thats basically fill out this survey so I can graduate and then providing nothing additionally to community. Get the fuck out. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying digging through old threads rather than having people do your work for you. It's not enough to simply dig through a message board for posts related to the topic (which in itself is not a simple task), it requires getting answers to a set of specific questions that are tailored to the right audience. Having the ability to successfully conduct a market survey and then share the results of said survey is typically a requirement of these types of projects. Telling OP to fuck off isn't going to stop other people from making these threads. It's also not going to encourage OP to want to contribute anything else to this message board. Next time you see a thread with "survey" in the title maybe just don't click on it.

timsimmons Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I get that we’re all just passing time on the internet and all, and that it’s basically consequence free to be a dick to people, but this survey took less than a minute. I don’t see what the big deal is about this. Coast, hippielauryn and backpackoat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hms1108 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi everyone. Just thought I would hop on to clarify a little bit. The app I am talking about is already in development and this survey, while also for my university project was also to do some general market research to find out what vinyl collectors would like from an app. Sorry that this is my first post and it is asking for something, I am relatively new to the world of vinyl collecting and wasn't aware of this collective until I began to do some deeper research into this. Thank you to everyone who has filled this in for me, hopefully once the app is fully developed I will be able to generally release it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Maybe let us more of the goal of your app? Is it to help catalog collections? Is it to help find deals on new vinyl? Is it for buying/selling used vinyl? Is it to find stock at local stores? Daniel Dopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
