Discogs
Website and database devoted to audio recordings / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Discogs (/ˌdɪsˈkɒɡz/; short for discographies) is a database of information about audio recordings, including commercial releases, promotional releases, and bootleg or off-label releases. Database contents are user-generated, and described in The New York Times as "Wikipedia-like".[4] While the site was originally created with the goal of becoming the largest online database of electronic music,[5] it now includes releases in all genres and on all formats.[4]
Not to be confused with Discord.
