About Pressings
A quiet place for your records.
Pressings is a catalogue and listening journal for vinyl collectors. It’s for the copies you actually own, and the memories that come with them: where you found each one, the condition it’s in, how it sounds on your setup, and what you thought of every track at different points in your life.
New here? See Pressings in action: a one-minute overview and seven short tutorials.
Catalogue
Add a record in under a minute. Scan the barcode or search Discogs, pick your exact pressing, and add your own sleeve, back cover and label photos.
Record each copy. Note the pressing, catalogue number, matrix, media and sleeve grades, and where, when and for how much you bought it.
Organise
Filing systems, your way. Build your own labelling system from colours, letters, numbers and free text, then code records or individual tracks. Use it for shelf locations, moods, DJ crates with BPM and key, records lent out, cleaning and care, or anything else. Filter and search by any code.
Find anything fast. Search and filter by artist, label, genre, grade, format, your codes, or what you haven’t played lately.
Listen
Keep a listening journal. Log every listen with a rating, your setup and a note, so you can look back on what a record meant to you over time.
Favourites and Top 10. Star the tracks you love and rank your all-time Top 10.
Collect the stories. Save trivia from Wikipedia, Discogs, MusicBrainz and the wider web, with the source attached.
Dig
Wishlist. Save the exact pressing you’re hunting, with the cover, catalogue number, matrix, your max price, the lowest grade you’ll accept and how to spot it.
Hunt mode. In a record shop, flick through your wants one at a time, or check a catalogue number against your list. It works offline, even in a basement with no signal.
Found it. Tick it off and it moves straight into your collection with the details already filled in.
Record shops. A map of every shop you’ve dug in, and what you brought home from each.
Play out
Bags. Pack a bag for a gig, a party or a slow Sunday. Set the running order with your codes alongside each track, and share the set list.
Understand
Insights. See the people behind your records, your decades and labels, what you’ve neglected, and how you listen. Can’t decide what to play? Let it pick one for you.
Value, if you want it. Optional Discogs estimates on their own tab: what you paid, what it’s worth, and your best finds. Never front and centre.
Share if you want to
Your collection is private unless you choose to share it. Publish a page for your collection, Top 10 and shops; share a bag’s set list; or send your wishlist as a gift list (friends can reserve a record so nobody doubles up) or to a record shop to source for you.
Prices, values and purchase details are never shown on anything you share.
On your phone
Pressings works in any browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, with the camera ready for sleeves and barcodes.
Why it exists
Pressings started as a personal project: one collector wanting a better home for their records than a spreadsheet. It’s built and looked after by a passionate army of one.
Is it free?
Yes. Everything above is free, with no limits on the size of your collection.
If running costs ever need covering, two promises stand:
- nothing you use today will move behind a paywall
- your collection and listening data will never be sold or shared without your consent
Your data
Your records are yours. You can download everything as a file, or delete your account and all its data, at any time from Settings. Read the privacy notice for the details.
