The Discogs Collector Community just surpassed a new milestone in music collecting. Across a variety of formats, genres, and countries, the global Discogs community, utilizing the Discogs Collection Tool, hit 750 million releases cataloged. In 2021, the global Discogs community reached 500 million records in their collection, equating to 50% growth in just three years.
That’s a lot of records.
The Discogs Collection Tool allows collectors to categorize, organize, and estimate the value of their music collection. It’s also a unique way to showcase your collection to fellow Discogs collectors.
