Discogs (short for discographies) is a website and database of information about music recordings,
including commercial releases, promotional releases, and bootleg or off-label releases.
Discogs is one of the largest online databases of electronic music releases and is believed to be
the largest online database of releases on vinyl media. Across all genres and formats, over
731,000 releases are catalogued. It also features listings for over 599,000 artists and over
64,000 labels . The site has around 100,000 visitors a day.
The data in Discogs comes from submissions contributed by users who have registered accounts on
the site. A point system is used to rank users based on the number and type of approved submissions.
Discogs is a great way to manage and sort a music collection, no matter the size, style, or format.
A number of music file tag editors have been released that support the database. The site also has a
Marketplace section where users can buy and sell items as private sales, as well as a wide
selection of Forums about various topics involving music.
