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. • 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. • 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 over-priced copies never surface. Your limit is converted into each seller's own currency using daily exchange rates, because that's the currency Discogs actually filters in. • 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. • 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. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.1.0 Block sellers • Keep a private, personal list of sellers you'd rather not buy from, each with your own note. • Block straight from a seller's profile or user page; blocked sellers are flagged (never hidden) on marketplace pages so you're reminded before you buy. • Manage the list in the Marketplace tab — look a seller up by name (or paste their URL) and confirm the right person before blocking. In-collection & wishlist badges • Any release now shows at a glance whether it's on your wishlist, in your collection, or a missing album by an artist you follow. • Matched at the album level, so a different pressing of something you own or want still gets marked. Ships From filter • Narrow a seller scan to a shipping-origin country, to sidestep customs and high international shipping. A tidier panel • Settings are reorganised around what you're doing — Marketplace, Scanning, Wishlist, Collection — so each control sits where you'd look for it. Also: the marketplace tools now work on a release's own For-Sale page, and saving a filter template warns you before creating a duplicate. 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 is private to you and stored only in your browser; it is never shared or exported. The only non-Discogs request is a public exchange-rate lookup, and only if you set a max price and scan a seller pricing in another currency. It sends a currency code and nothing else. Unofficial; not affiliated with Discogs.
