Discogs
Discogs is a music-focused online platform founded in October 2000 by Kevin Lewandowski. Initially created as a personal database for electronic music, it has grown into the largest crowdsourced music discography and marketplace, specializing in vinyl records, CDs, and other physical media. Owned by Zink Media, Inc., Discogs aims to preserve the history of recorded music through comprehensive, user-generated data. The platform features a public music database where users contribute verified details about releases, artists, and labels. It also includes a marketplace that allows users to buy and sell physical music media, generating revenue through seller fees. Additionally, Discogs offers community tools such as forums, collection management, and price guides for collectors. With over 602,000 contributors, Discogs has expanded its genre coverage and continues to focus on maintaining a diverse representation of music history.
