Discogs has a new site

I wonder what this new site will be?

https://twitter.com/discogs/status/495325283054919680

It probably the record shop database one - some folks from Discogs got an invite to test / contribute and now it looks like it's about to be let loose for everyone!

I've been a bit distant for the past month or so and had not heard of this. Sounds way cool!

no, it's a site for music gear. I got a message from nik yesterday. I believe there's also another site for movies in the works.

A Discogs-style video game database would be excellent. I have boxes full of Game Boy carts that I am itching to catalog! I wonder if Garfield Labyrinth, The Real Ghostbusters and Mickey Mouse IV would be eligible for the same Master Release...

I am getting moist.

I say VinylHub.

It's got to be Porncogs, without a doubt.

Digital Discogs - finally, all digital files get purged from the Discogs database to go to their own website to spare us analog collectors the horror.

;)

Wouldn't be a bad idea for them to focus on getting this site working consistently well first!

Server down again for a few minutes and now slooooow

You same old same old. These "issues" have been going on for so long now it's becoming a joke.

Totally right, there are 1 mio. things to fix here...

Yes, please.

It is an general auction site for any items to take eBay on.
A life-raft so everyone can leave the sinking eBay ship and not just media sellers.

You could call it solipsogs.com.

For digital files fine for me...but for sure not for cd's...

so....does anybody know what it is exactly?

Only bet I would make is that it's a digital something with only physical contribution coming from the s.

VinylReserve
does anybody know what it is exactly?

Yes. :)

Wait... Maybe.

It's the film discogs, isn't it?

I'll add my vote for a separate Digital release Discogs, but my gut feeling is the movie one that's in beta.

All hell's gonna break loose. lol

Discogs Corp. taking on IMDB? Interesting.

it's Allogs.. a database of everything and anything

you can add your kettle, your car, your neighbours cat.. whatever you want...

Stampogs, Coinogs, Camerogs.....I often asked myself, why nobody is doing it.
So many things are being mass-collected globally and Ebay is just chaotic.
The database is the key to a good marketplace.

That's exactly what I thought and I'm still wondering why.

How is something like Filmogs comparable to IMDB? A totally different concept IMO. I'd also rather would like to see Bookogs.

What is the difference?

Books, Lego, movies, computer games ... the lsit goes on. DBs exist for each and every category of collectibles already. IMDB has been in the business for almost 25 years and is owned by Amazon. IMDB is actually part of the PR-strategies of big productions. Sure, it's not a Discogs-style marketplace. But credits and artwork... IMDB is industry-standard. For Hollywood, anyway. And yes, it's possible to build collections on there.

I"ve already starting looting, just in case.

I'm pulling for stuffedanimalsogs.

^ the logo in the Twitter post is the same as in the Vinyl Hub site. Records, not gear.

Mop66

Bookogs is probably an unnecessary site, since Librarything.com already exists. If you have a Librarything hip, Bookogs wouldn't have any real advantage unless your Bookogs collection and your Discogs collection can be integrated into a single collection accessible from each site. A search for Art Pepper, for example, would turn up both Art Pepper records (from Discogs) and the autobiography Straight Life (from Bookogs).

Also, Abebooks and Alibris already allow a search for books across multiple sellers. They would provide substantial competition for any proposed Bookogs marketplace.

Also, wouldn't Bibliogs make a better name?

Although the way things have been going for me this week, I'm going to find myself in hot water for pointing people to the competition when they are just about to launch Bibliogs.

a beta version of the gear site is also live already, btw. I don't know if it's "invite-only". The message from nik was clearly a mass mail as teo's message regarding vinylhub. I'd imagine there's also a beta site for filmogs or whatever it's called.

Bibliogs

Probably ;-)

What is the difference?

Where are the individual releases of a movie available on tape, DVD, Blu-Ray on IMDB? Where is the market place?

It's their business and they will do whatever they want / feel like.

However, I'm on the side with those voicing their concerns about the ongoing imperfections on this here site.

Neither the idea of "Filmogs" nor "Bibliogs" makes me jump in the air...there's hardly people outside of Bulgaria that would care for some 1995 print of Nick Cave "And the ass saw the angel" in a language none but 6-10 milion people can read globally.

My tupence.

Mop66

It's almost like I already mentioned that myself. So you wanna re-build the credits for movies from scratch, in competition against a global Alexa rank Top 50 website?

ps: I don't collect movies, so I'm probably a bit biased.

legumes-SALES

I don't see how this is a competition as it serves a different purpose.

How is something like Filmogs comparable to IMDB?

When I first went on to the site there was only a few films listed, but it was just film credits without any mention of a format they were on, now I've just had a look and there are some DVD's been added which makes a difference.

I didn't really take much notice when I visited because films aren't my thing, and my invite to the beta site was probably wasted.

A sneak preview has been leaked:

About Armogs
We're on a mission to build the biggest and most comprehensive weapons database and marketplace. Imagine a site with inventories of all manufacturers, all cross-referenced, and an international marketplace built off of that database. It's for the love of war, and getting closer every day.

The Database
The heart of Armogs is a -built database of weapons. More than 199,000 people have contributed some piece of knowledge, to build up a catalog of more than 5,100,000 weapons and 3,400,000 munitions. We're far from done and you can contribute too! Armogs also offers the ability to catalog your armory, wantlist, and share your ratings and reviews.

The Marketplace
The Armogs Marketplace connects buyers and sellers across the globe. With more than 10 million items available and thousands of sellers, this is the premier spot from the newest developements to hard to find gems. Because the Marketplace is built on top of the accurate Armogs database, it is easy for sellers to list their inventory and buyers are able to specify the exact version they want.

LOL The ultimate fantasy.

There's a picture of a record player and a #vinyl hashtag in that tweet so it probably isn't 'filmogs'.

Agreed. I've been a part of the filmogs testing and it is not close to launch in my opinion.

Would love to see a Bookogs. Not a fan of LibraryThing or Goodreads.

when i visit http://www.vinylhub.com/no-auth i get a basic blank page with the text "Please with your Discogs " and a green button.

what is vinyl hub?

clicked the button, got redirected to a discogs page:

Record Shop Database

not sure if i want to have my discogs linked to another site in such a manner :/

"Record Shop Database" kinda says it all.

i think i'd rather just use yelp :/

"Record Shop Database" kinda says it all.

Well this appears a bit of a let down, seeing as I know there's no (independent) record shops in hundreds of miles from my location.

Well this appears a bit of a let down, seeing as I know there's no (independent) record shops in hundreds of miles from my location.

Let's define "record shop". Is it a shop that only sells vinyl with a few CDs and tapes in the back corner? Or is it any old thrift shop/antique store that has a section for records?

Vinylhub has gotten an interface makeover recently.
Works pretty good on my phone too.

Now if we could use the phones camera to add snapshots of the new shops as we discover them. To make it a 'virtual tour' of the place. Could help make (or break) the decision to visit the location(s) if its going to be a long sidetrip.

However, I'm on the side with those voicing their concerns about the ongoing imperfections on this here site.

I understand your concerns. Although we are experimenting with some "mini-discogs" it is still our #1 priority to make Discogs the best it possibly can be. Whether it be improving features or making the site faster and more available, we're constantly working on it and that won't change.

teo,

No major concerns from my side, keep up the good work :)

VinylHub is now open to the public :)

This would be fun, especially because I work at a library

It would be useful to add an icon-link on the Discogs' top bar menu to the VinylHub site, and reciprocally.

it would be useful for the search on discogs to return relevant results, especially when searching via a cat#.

been trying to list records today, and it's been absolutely brutal -_-

tanya.kobikov
When are they planning to launch it ?

Hi folks - if anyone is interested in the music gear (hi-fi / DJ / studio equipment) database beta or the film database beta, you are welcome to message me, and I'll add you to the lists of possible testers to be added the next time we do that!

Please see this thread regarding the search function. If you have any examples, it would be helpful to post them there, thanks!

the music gear (hi-fi / DJ / studio equipment) database beta

I like that for sure. That should solve quite a few, er, "issues" as debated in Forum Thread #53dd3baa43224615ece6fbf7. Provided both databases will be interlinkable…

They aren't linked at this point. I'm not sure how they could solve that particular issue in the long term either, to be honest, but perhaps one day we'll have a grand unified theory for that :-)

I added 4 San Diego area stores, Off the Record, Spin, Cow, Taang. Hopefully someone will add some in Wyoming in the next couple weeks (I'll be there on vacation;)
