Discogs is a website and application created to catalog your music collection and buy and sell music with others. This brand refresh aims to introduce new features to the application and enhance the existing flow and design.
DISCOVER AND CATALOG MUSIC
Originally created as a hobby project in 2000 by Kevin Lewandowski, Discogs has grown to become a definitive resource for Vinyl and CD recordings. Discogs offers the ability to catalog your music collection, add selections to your wantlist, and discover and share a vast database of music. More than 320,000 people have contributed some piece of knowledge to build up a catalog of more than 7,900,000 recordings and 4,800,000 artists.
APPLICATION REDESIGN & FEATURE DEVELOPMENT
EXISTING IN-APP FEATURES
CATALOG YOUR COLLECTION
Add and remove items from your collection. Check to see if you already own a record before you buy one in store. Catalog and estimate the value of your collection.
ADD TO YOUR WANTLIST
Track your most saught after albums more efficiently by adding them to your wantlist. Then get notified when they become listed for sale.
NEW IN-APP FEATURES
LISTEN
Search the world's largest database of physical music and discover something new. Listen to new music or music you've always loved to listen to on vinyl when you're away from home.
BUY & SELL
With millions of items in the discogs marketplace, easily find new releases and hard to find gems. Sellers can list their items from their phone and buyers can be notified when an item on their wantlist is available so they can snatch it before its gone.
LISTEN TO ALBUM TRACKLIST
Simplifying the journey of navigating from the search page to a specific artist filtered by genre help the user find what they are looking for faster. In addition to this, the user can listen to tracks from selected albums easily from the artist page or an individual album page.
BUY FROM THE MARKETPLACE
Adding the marketplace functions of the Discogs website make this application more cohesive and functional across different platforms. Previously, the Discogs app did not easily allow users to buy and sell, but would redirect you to a website browser on your phone. Integrating one of the core features of Discogs' website helps users enjoy the benefits of this service no matter what platform they use.
