✨ Vinyl Presence

Our own free, open-source app gives you a Spotify-style Discord status for your real turntable. Pick the record you just put on and your profile shows the cover, track and a progress bar. It syncs with your Discogs collection and can scrobble to Last.fm.

🏷️ Make it yours

Pick your favorite genres, formats, decades and collector style when you join, and level up from Music Explorer to Crate Digger just by chatting.

🤝 Our vibe

No gatekeeping, no snobbery. Just good records, good people and good conversations.

Drop the needle and stay a while. 🎶
