A Better Discogs

Find wishlist or missing-collection albums regardless of release, block sellers, sort by total price, filter templates and more.

A Better Discogs makes the Discogs marketplace better for record collectors. The problem: Discogs matches your wantlist by EXACT release only. An album is released many times — different years, countries, pressings — and each is a separate "release." So a seller who has the album you want, but a different pressing, shows up as "0 items from your wantlist." You miss real matches. A Better Discogs matches at the ALBUM level instead. It scores every seller by how many of your wanted albums they carry — any pressing. FEATURES • Find in market — one click from any wantlist row to the marketplace, filtered to that album (all pressings). • Seller wishlist score — see how many of your wanted albums each seller has in your chosen formats, catching matches Discogs' own badge misses. Even very large dealers are scanned in seconds. • In-collection & wishlist badges — every release in the marketplace or on its own page is marked if it's on your wishlist, already in your collection, or a missing album by an artist you follow. • Match details — cover, condition, price + shipping, and a direct link to buy or add to cart. • Pick which pressings count — sometimes only the original press will do. Open any wantlist album, uncheck the pressings you don't want, and they stop counting as a match. Cover art, label, catalogue number, country and year are all listed, with a search box, so telling similar pressings apart is quick. • Collection discovery — find albums you're missing by artists you already collect. Follow an artist, and their unowned records show up alongside your wishlist matches on the same scan, in their own tab. Entirely optional and off by default. • Block sellers — keep a private list of sellers you'd rather not buy from, with your own notes. Blocked sellers are flagged (never hidden) on marketplace and profile pages, so you're reminded before you buy. Private to you; never shared. • Max price — set a ceiling so overpriced copies never surface. Compared in your own currency, so the limit means what you'd actually pay. • Sort by total price — reorder listings by landed cost (item + shipping), which Discogs' own sort ignores. • Hide unavailable — hide listings that can't ship to your country. • Wantlist and collection auto-sync — add or remove an item and the index updates itself, no prompt. • Scan filters — pinpoint what counts as a find. Narrow every scan by format, style, condition, shipping-origin country and more, so a seller's score reflects the copies you'd actually buy. • Filter templates — save your favourite marketplace filters and re-apply them in one click. • Scan depth — decide how much of a very large dealer's stock to read, and be told when a scan stops short instead of quietly returning a partial result. SETUP Click "Connect to Discogs" and approve access on Discogs' own site. There is no API key or token to create, and your Discogs password is never seen by the extension. Disconnect at any time from Settings, or revoke access from your Discogs account settings. New here? Open the manual from the extension's Info (ⓘ) panel — it covers every feature in full. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.2.0 Discogs replaced its marketplace with a new design, and the extension's tools disappeared from it. They're back — and the rebuild made them better. Rebuilt for the new marketplace • Everything works on the new marketplace pages again: seller scores, badges, the sort and hide toggles, and a landed-price total on every row. • Big dealers are now scannable. Reading listings page by page topped out around 10,000 items, so a seller with 100,000+ was luck of the draw. Now the same seller is answered in about a second, completely — so a match that was previously missed simply because the seller was too big now shows up. • Prices, shipping and availability are read as real values rather than pulled out of the page text, which makes total-price sorting exact and max price match what you'd actually pay. Choose which pressings count • Wantlist albums match on any pressing, which is usually what you want — but not when only the original press will do. • Open Filter releases on any wantlist row and uncheck what you don't want. Excluded pressings stop counting as a match in seller scans. • The list shows cover art, label, catalogue number, country and year for each pressing, with a search box — so picking out the one you're after is quick even for an album with a hundred versions. • On the marketplace, a Hide filtered-out button hides those pressings from the page too. • Options → Wishlist → Filtered albums lists every album you've narrowed, and clears any of them in one click. Also new • Sleeve details — "Gatefold", "Pop-Up", "1st Label" and the like now show on marketplace listings. • Cover art per pressing when choosing which releases count, since pressings often differ mainly by sleeve. Fixed • Release-page badges were not appearing at all. Fixed. PRIVACY You use your own Discogs account. Nothing is collected, sent to a developer's server, or shared — everything stays in your browser. The extension reads only: it never adds, edits or removes anything in your Discogs account. Your blocked-sellers list and your per-album release filters are private to you and stored only in your browser; they are never shared or exported. Seller scans ask Discogs' own marketplace data API which of your albums a seller has, so that request tells Discogs which albums you asked about — the same as if you had searched for them yourself. Nothing else about you is sent, and it only ever goes to Discogs. The only non-Discogs request is a public exchange-rate lookup, used only in the fallback case where the marketplace API is unavailable and a max price has to be converted. It sends a currency code and nothing else. Unofficial; not affiliated with Discogs.
