Oh, I should have read your post clearer. I was talking about Discogs, not RYM, as well. My bad! LOL

Stephen, if you click on one of the issues of the album on RYM, it will open you a page dedicated to that issue (with its own cover art, if the case, and with its own ratings, that get calculated for the general rating of the album). There you can specify that you own that particular issue.

Yes, I found that. Jake mentioned (or maybe I misunderstood) that he could type in the catalogue # of his CD and it would find the correct issue for him, saving him searching through lists of albums by artists, which is what I could not find. Smile

Been using that for years.  Have toyed with putting it into Access but haven't got around to it setting it up.  Also another cool thing about Excel = Randbetween (n;n) to generate random numbers.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I just checked out discogs out of curiosity, Jake, I didn't see that feature you were talking about where you can enter in the # but perhaps I just missed it. Anyways, I already found a few places where their database is not as complete as RYM's, although I do like that the albums that do have data have more data. I also really like the idea of their marketplace and may maintain an account there just for access to that more than out of a desire to catalogue my collection.

For my vinyl I keep them grouped by artists (not alphabetical.....I'm not that smart) in boxes I made. For the rest of my media CD's, online digital purchases I use the Zune software, which is free also.

Huh, I didn't see that. One thing I'm really liking about Discogs, though, is that you can just type in the code on the record and it will find the exact one for you. It's very very quick, much quicker than having to search through a list of records to see which fits yours.

I don't like that you can't note the pressing, or add more than one copy of an album. There are some albums that I own a few different copies of, different pressings, different colors, pic disk vs regular, etc. 

I guess that Booxter will have to work for now... 


But you can add as many issues as you wish on RYM. Confused Look at this album for example, it has 38 issues to choose from.

I don't think you can specify which issue you own though.

I am slightly tempted to try out this discogs website, except it already took me long enough to set up my RYM.

Not much vinyl I'm afraid.
1200 or so CDs, a couple of hundred vinyls, a big stack of CD-R's and 3k or thereabouts of digital ones. If I remember correctly.

Not that impressive really.

6K of vinyl or including digital albums? If it's just vinyl then holy sh*t man! Edit: nevermind that's mostly digital. 

I found out that Discogs is basically exactly what I'm looking for. I just started this long process of cataloging but my list is here: http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=JakeKobrin
