See the founder batchSet Vinyl ID beside your turntable, connect to audio and turn it on. Easy setup on device or via the iOS app will get you running in seconds.
Play your records exactly as you always have. Within seconds the device recognizes the song, pulls Discogs rating data and shows you visible album art on device or app.
Every spin is saved to your private history while also working to automatically build out your vinyl catalogue without you logging a single record.
Vinyl ID is a passive listening device that sits beside your turntable and quietly identifies every record you play.
We built it because the best part of vinyl is the ritual, and the worst part is forgetting. What did I play last Sunday? How many times have I spun this record? What are my friends listening to? Streaming services answer those questions for digital music. Nothing did for vinyl, so we made it.
No accounts to wrangle, no scanning, no typing. Just play your records the way you always have, and let Vinyl ID keep the count.
Set it down once. From then on, Vinyl ID listens in the background and quietly builds the most complete picture of your listening life, without ever touching your sound.

Every spin is logged to create your listening history. Your shelf becomes a searchable archive of a lifetime of listening. Saved history and stats come with the $10/mo membership; without it, your device still identifies every record in real time.
Delete your account and listening history if you choose. Data remains yours.
Any turntable, any amp, any speakers, any brand. Vinyl ID sits alongside your setup.
A 7-inch always-on display shows what's playing now. The companion app for iOS keeps your whole library in sync.
Design was a priority for us — we care about our home setup and wanted something that would fit right in. The always-on display switches when a song starts and toggles back when the session is done.
Everything Vinyl ID hears syncs to the iOS app. See what's playing right now, browse a collection that builds itself, and watch your stats grow with every spin.
Vinyl ID is better with your record friends on it. Add friends in the app and see what they're listening to the moment the needle drops, with live Now Playing updates.
Browse their collections and recent spins for your next crate-digging idea, and let them follow along with what's playing at your place. You control all of it — friend requests and listening visibility live in your privacy settings, and sharing is off until you turn it on.
Plug it in and scan the on-screen QR code with the Vinyl ID app to pair — or skip the phone entirely and do the whole setup right on the device's touchscreen.
