Photograph a record. crate2cloud reads the label and matches it on Discogs by catalogue number — so you get the specific edition in your hands, not just the album.

An AI vision model pulls artist, title, label and catalogue number off the print, including curved rim text. If that's unavailable it falls back to on-device text recognition, which reads less well.

Most scanners identify the album. A 1973 first pressing and a 2015 repress share a title but not a value — the difference lives in the catalogue number printed on the label. crate2cloud reads that number and searches Discogs by it, so the match is a specific pressing rather than a best guess at the title.
Honest about the numbers: on a 20-record internal test the right release came back top of the list every time. That's a small sample from one collection, not a guarantee — always check the pressing before you collect or list. Photos, data and limits are spelled out in your data.
Two ways in — pick whichever suits the pile in front of you.
For digging: crates, shops, car boots.
For the big job: working through a whole collection.
