iCollect Music details checked against its App Store listing and version history (version 9.9.19) on September 13, 2026. Corrected that day: an earlier version of this page described iCollect Everything, the general-purpose app, and said full access cost up to $30.
Spinstack syncs with Discogs in both directions. iCollect Music imports a Discogs export file that you send to them, and does not stay in sync afterwards.
iCollect Music covers CDs, cassettes, 8-track, reel-to-reel and digital files with the same field-driven engine as the other iCollect apps. Spinstack is built around records: pressings, sides, spins, condition and the shelf.
Spinstack logs every spin and turns the history into Vinyl DNA, Spin Reports and the Wax Timeline. iCollect Music stores estimated values and personal fields; it lists no listening history or analytics.
iCollect Music is $29.99 once for unlimited items, with bulk editing and CSV import in a $79.99-a-year Pro subscription and AI scans sold in packs. Spinstack is $9.99 once for everything.
It handles every music format in one inventory, offers an Android app and web sharing, imports from CLZ, MusicBuddy and Delicious Library, and stores up to four photos per item.
For vinyl, yes. iCollect Music is a general music inventory that covers CDs, cassettes, vinyl and digital files with the same engine as the other iCollect apps. Spinstack is built specifically for vinyl collectors with two-way Discogs sync, Spin Log, Vinyl DNA analytics, NFC tagging, Crate Dig and Apple TV support.
Not live. iCollect Music imports a Discogs export file that you send to them, so your collection comes in once and then does not stay in sync. Spinstack imports your full Discogs collection in seconds and keeps it in two-way sync.
iCollect Music is free for a small collection. Unlimited music items are a $29.99 one-time unlock, Pro features such as bulk editing and CSV import are $79.99 a year, and AI identification scans are sold in packs. Spinstack is $9.99 once with a 30-day free trial. No credit card required, no subscription.
A vinyl-specific app like Spinstack understands the collector workflow: Discogs integration, play tracking, pressing details, genre analytics, and NFC tagging for physical records. A general music inventory stores the same fields for a cassette as for a first pressing. The depth is not there.
