#### Pick, browse, and value your Discogs vinyl collection

Spinner for Discogs is a local-first desktop companion for vinyl collectors who keep their shelves in Discogs.

Connect your Discogs account with a personal access token, sync your collection, then browse your records, spin a random album, inspect release details, track market value, and keep wantlist context close without living in browser tabs.

What you can do:

* Browse and search your Discogs collection and wantlist
* Spin a random record when you cannot decide what to play
* View cover art, release details, tracklists, and market prices
* Check collection value and wantlist context from one desktop app
* Optionally hand playback to Spotify or YouTube Music

First run is designed to be quick: install the app, paste your Discogs personal access token into the setup wizard, sync once, and start browsing your records.

Notes:

* A free Discogs account and personal access token are required.
* Spotify and YouTube Music are optional integrations.
* Spinner for Discogs does not stream audio itself; it controls or opens external playback services when configured.
* This is an unofficial third-party app and is not affiliated with Discogs.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Spinner for Discogs

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
