LPpedia?

[kenaustus]

I have a stack of older LPs that I would like to add, but it's a pain.

How about a LPpedia, which would be like CDpedia, but exclude items like price.

As an example I have a great LP (Ella in Berlin). In LPpedia I would just need to enter the title, get the details like I would in CDpedia, manually enter the price (I think it was $3.95 - shows how old I am) and I have all the details I need.

As this would be a stripped down version of CDpedia it could be an "enhancement" to CDpedia or a cheap addition to your lineup.

One other thought - could you pull the details of CDs (and LPs) from iTunes? Might be a nice source, especially for those overseas.

You could enter your vinyl information into CDpedia manually (we have yet to find a good online database for LPs) or try to get the information from Amazon or iTunes. (It'll be for CDs so you'd have to tweak it a bit...) To get information via iTunes/Gracenote, use the iTunesCDInfo plug-in.
If you want to keep your vinyl collection separate from your CDs you could either use one of the custom fields for 'Format' and create a smart collection based on that or you could set up a library-independent collection and keep all your LPs in there.

Are there any serious plans for LPpedia? My vinyl-collection is growing and because I love DVDpedia, I want the same for my LP's. I'm considering CDpedia for this, but not if LPpedia is being realized in the meantime

Since the fields are very much the same Lpedia would be a search plug-in to CDpedia to make it easier to enter the data. So don't be afraid to jump in and use CDpedia and manually enter the LPs.

Cool, I bought the thing and figured I could also enter my cd's (and even some tapes) as well Good stuff!
