The Vinyl Scanner. For your collection.
Scan the cover or barcode of your records — the AI trained by R.A.V.E. recognizes the release and adds it directly to your personal Discogs account. The fastest record scanning app for collectors and DJs — tried and tested a thousand times, fully integrated, without lock-in.
Discogs is your archive
RaveScanner writes directly to your own Discogs collection — no parallel database, no lock-in. All you need is a free Discogs account. If you ever leave, all your data stays where it belongs: with you.
Plan your archive — with Groovi
The archive planner helps you sort your physical collection sensibly: boxes, shelves, style families, label boxes. And Groovi, our AI archive coach, asks about your preferences and suggests the right structure for you.
- Use directly in the browser — no login required
- Freely configure boxes, shelves & storage space
- 4 sorting logics: Genre, Label, Year, Style family
- Groovi guides you step by step
RaveScanner vs. the other scanner apps
Other apps lock your collection into their own cloud — if you leave, it stays behind. RaveScanner writes directly to your Discogs account: your data belongs to you. Plus an archive planner with Groovi, DJ gig mode, custom branding, and a YouTube player — all in your browser, no app store needed.
