One-time setup
Bring in the shelf
Picks records off your own shelf — the ones you own, like, and never get round to playing. Reads your Discogs collection; nothing leaves this browser.
Your collection has to be public on Discogs — Settings → Privacy.
Optional — a token, for real sleeve scans and twice the speed
Discogs won't hand out cover images to anonymous requests. Without a token this page looks the artwork up on Apple's catalogue instead — free, nothing to sign up for, but it misses white labels, odd pressings and anything never released digitally.
It isn't a new account. On Discogs go to Settings → Developers and press Generate token. It stays in this browser and is never sent anywhere but Discogs. Generate your own rather than borrowing someone else's — it's a key to your account.
