Move a spreadsheet of vinyl into ViniVault

Work down the sheet. Search the artist and title, save the pressing, and mark the row done. Do not try to automate a messy sheet on day one. Merged cells, nicknames, and 'various' will not become a clean shelf by themselves.

Prices in the sheet can be typed onto the record so the guide does not overwrite what you already decided. If the cell is empty, leave the price empty. A zero you type is a real price. A blank is not.

A spreadsheet is a fine checklist and a poor shop tool. You cannot comfortably search it in a crate, and it will not show you the sleeve. The move is worth it because the phone will.

The collection import is from Discogs. A spreadsheet is the list you work through while you add the records, one row at a time. That is slower than a fantasy button, and it is how you notice the rows that were wrong.

When you want a file again, export a CSV from Account. That export is the shelf as it stands, which may be truer than the old workbook if you have corrected pressings on the way.

Use Add Records for each row. Type the price you had written. Keep the sheet until the counts match, then keep the CSV with your papers if you still want a file outside the app.

One hundred records fit on the free shelf. A longer sheet needs Pro at £1.99 a month before the later rows can be added. Rows already added stay.
