So as our record collection has been growing, then I've noticed that I'm gonna have to take some action to make sure that the records are organized really well.

And so I finally got around to doing it.

And yeah, the first step in this process

was actually cataloging all of the records.

So I needed to make a digital record of all of the records that I own.

So I did that using a website called Discogs, which is this great database of

lots of recorded music it's not just records cds and tapes and and everything almost everything that's been recorded like it's crazy even the small little indie bands that i used to play in in canada when i was like a university student they're all on discogs so somebody has gone through and even uploaded those small little releases like when i was in bands in canada

We used to record a tape of some of our songs and sell them at our concerts.

And we would make maybe like 25 or 50 copies of these tapes and sell them.

And those are on Discogs.

So these small, small, small little minor releases are all on there.

So I was pretty shocked to see those on Discogs and also kind of proud.

It's cool that that exists, that those

tapes that I would make, those albums that I would make exist on Discogs.

But that's besides the point.

So I had to go through and search or scan.

If you use the Discogs app on your phone, there's a barcode scanner.

So for newer records with a barcode, you can just scan and really quickly add it to your database.

But older records, you need to search by the number.

There's a number on each record.
