ViniVault/Discogs

Move a vinyl collection from Discogs

Bring the records onto your ViniVault shelf, with the sleeves saved as they arrive. The Discogs collection can stay where it is.

Bring the vinyl across

Match what you can, then check the odd pressings afterwards. A first pass that gets the titles in is more useful than a perfect import you never start. Box sets, promos, and anything with two plausible sleeves are the ones to glance at.

Watch the size. The free shelf holds 100 records. An import that would pass that line stops and tells you, rather than quietly dropping the rest.

Moving does not mean leaving Discogs. The collection there can remain. ViniVault holds its own copy, with sleeves saved as the records land, and with room for notes Discogs does not need to show.

After the records arrive

Add the prices you know. A typed price replaces the market guide for that copy, which matters if your spreadsheet or your memory already has a figure you trust.

Then use the shelf as the phone catalogue. New purchases can be added in ViniVault as you buy them. If you also want the Discogs profile kept up, add them there too. The two lists do not stay in step forever.

How this works in ViniVault

Sign in, open Account, and follow Discogs import. After it finishes, spot-check a few pressings and add the prices you know. Export a CSV if you want a file of the copy you just made.

Pro is £1.99 a month for an unlimited shelf, which is what a large import needs. The free shelf is enough to try the first 100 records before you decide.

Questions

What happens if I have more than 100 records?
The free shelf stops at 100, and the import tells you if it would pass that line. Pro is £1.99 a month for an unlimited shelf, including a larger import.
Does Discogs lose the collection when I import?
No. ViniVault copies the records into your vault. The Discogs collection stays where it is.
