Import Your Discogs Collection and Let Your Turntable Do the Rest

Discogs is your archive. What's Spinning is your listening log.

Most vinyl collectors use Discogs to track what they own. It is the definitive database for pressings, editions, and marketplace activity. But Discogs is a static record. It knows what you own, not what you play.

What's Spinning fills that gap. Import your Discogs collection once, and from that point forward every time you drop the needle, the app listens and logs it automatically. Your collection tracker becomes a living record of your listening life.

The import is a starting line, not a destination

When you import from Discogs, What is Spinning gets a clean catalog of your holdings. Artist, album, label, year. No manual entry required. But the real value starts the moment you play your first record after the import.

Spin a record from your newly imported collection and the app recognizes it through audio fingerprinting. It logs the play, updates your stats, and adds it to your now-playing history. You do not open the app, you do not tap anything, you just play the record.

Why this matters for big collections

If you have several hundred records, manual entry is not realistic. You will start and then stop, and your log will be full of holes. Importing from Discogs removes the startup cost entirely. Your catalog exists, you move it over once, and then you build your actual listening history by doing the thing you already do: playing records.

Over months and years, your What is Spinning log tells you which albums from your imported collection you actually return to, and which ones have sat untouched since the import. That is information Discogs cannot give you.

No duplicate work, no gaps in your log

Because What is Spinning listens to detect plays rather than relying on manual check-ins, your collection log fills in naturally with zero ongoing effort. The Discogs import gives you the catalog. The turntable gives you the behavior. What is Spinning connects the two.
