Do I have to re-enter my whole collection?
No. You add records by scanning the cover or the barcode — no typing. If your collection already lives on Discogs, sync it in and start from there.
Does Plastic work with CDs and cassettes?
Yes — vinyl, CDs and cassettes live on the same shelf. Scan the barcode and they're in.
Why not just use Discogs?
Keep using it. Plastic syncs with your Discogs collection rather than replacing it, and adds instant scanning, playable previews and the album story in a fast pocket app.
What happens to my collection if something goes wrong on Discogs?
Plastic keeps its own copy of your collection, with its folders and notes. If Discogs is down, or records disappear there in bulk, your catalogue stays in Plastic.
Can Plastic identify a specific pressing?
Plastic can identify specific pressings through barcode scans and direct release matches. When several editions share the same barcode or artwork, its version picker helps you select your copy using label photos, catalogue numbers, colour and runout details.
Is Plastic free?
Yes. Plastic is free for cataloguing and managing collections of up to 20 records, with no subscription required. Text search, Discogs sync and your public page are free. New accounts also receive five camera scans. Optional Pro adds unlimited scanning and full collection browsing beyond 20 records.
Can I share my record collection?
Yes. Every account gets a free public page at myplastic.app/@yourname. Show a wall of up to 15 favorite records, the lists you publish, your full collection or wishlist if you choose, a bio, and links to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X and up to five other sites. Everything starts private: nothing goes public until you publish it.
Has Plastic won any awards?
Plastic received the distinction "Red Dot" in the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2026.
