My Vinyl Collection Database
Bob over at Rock and Roll and Meandering Nonsense has been instrumental in helping me with my vinyl collection. He's gone to great lengths to add to my slowly growing stockpile of albums on this wonderful analog format. He's recommended some places that add some nice touches to their vinyl, and just recently, he gave me a database where I can add all my albums. After the long process of adding each album one by one, the database is finally complete, and the link to it can be seen here: Jeff's Vinyl Collection Database.With the database I can also add my CD collection, but right now I don't have the will to add that many albums (maybe sometime in the future when I'm extra bored.) I just want to put a disclaimer out there if you are going to actually look at my collection: Many of these albums were passed down to me by my parents, which ultimately means, there are a number of albums in there that I'm a little embarrassed to have *cough Pablo Cruise and Sha na na cough*, but none the less I decided I should not hide them.
I will probably post a link to the database with every "Another Week Another Vinyl" post, but if you're ever interested and want to take a peek I will leave a permanent link on the side of my blog. I also want to say thanks so much to Bob!

What an awesome record collection!!
My dad had a pretty extensive one, but back in the late 1970s while away at college, his house flooded and he lost all his records :(
I'm really eager to start one up someday though :)
Very cool. I'm using rym to upload my music database. Got all the CDs and the Beatles vinyl so far. I'm going to post about it when it's all done, whenever that is...
Peace.
Classicrock - Well it's never too late to start one up. I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to make my way over to the record store each week to see what kind of gem I can find. Just recently I purchased U2's October in near mint condition for just three dollars. You can't beat it!
Daniel - Definitely let me know when it's finished. I would love to see it.
That is GREAT! Bob is a super guy!
Great job! I have also rediscovered vinyl and I'm slowly buying all those Metal LPs that I've always wanted to hear. I'm also in the process of cataloging all of my music (all genres & all formats) using the Collectorz.com software. I have thousands of discs and it's a major project. I'll be watching your list!

Wow, This makes me feel bad..in a good way. I was a cassette guy. My Dad had tons of records and gave them all to me. But as a young rocker, I liked the ease and transport of tapes. I must have 200 albums scattered all over the US left in the places I used to live and hardly ever listened to them.I even have a Panasonic turntable in a box in my basement. Should I reconsider my past and embrace the vinyl?
Layla - Bob has been really helpful. I can't thank him enough.
Steven - I've been telling myself that I will catalog my music in terms of genre and years on my iPod since the day I bought it, but I never have. It's a big process to undertake, but hopefully one day I'll actually get around to doing that. Cataloging my vinyl was a step in the right direction though.
Seano - Vinyl was something I've always wanted to get into but never made the leap until one day I finally bought a turntable and went down to my local record store. I'm so happy I did. The entire tactile quality of vinyl is great. The enlarged packaging and all of the other nice perks has drawn me in, but I'll never get rid of my iPod just because it's so ridiculously convenient.
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Fix your Rush "permenant waves" entry. One search, one spelling typo. :)
Looking for a program for my f-in-law to categorize his Elvis 45 collection on. What's this based on? Custom?
Regards,
Jim
