Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A French-language collection tool that uses two cover photos to identify vinyl records, fill in album details, and make the collection searchable.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The cataloging flow asks collectors to photograph both sides of a sleeve, then combines cover OCR with MusicBrainz to populate record information. The search is designed to work below the album level: a user can look up a track and find the record and side where it appears. The visible account area also includes decade, artist, label, and track-count statistics, while the presented collection itself is currently empty.
