    Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

    So I have used Discogs for the last couple of years as my default sort order for my collection storage. Sometime in the last few weeks it started sorting my collection differently, including the "The" as part of the sort. The result is now The Beatles, The Kills, etc.... Are all sorted in the...

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    They all weren't worse, but definitely more hit and miss than I anticipated.

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    So, basically three rotations with back and forth scrubbing. Hard enough to have the Zyme produce bubbles. Sometimes I noticed the dot pattern from the squeaky clean pad on the side I cleaned and flipped over. So I wonder if in some cases the vacuum did not get all the cleaner removed. I...

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    So.. I can be a little OCD sometimes. I went on a cleaning binge and cleaned around 400 records or so over a couple weeks. I did this since as a new collector I did not know I should be cleaning new vinyl at the time. So I finally decided I would get some done. Method was squeaky clean...

    How do you Organize!

    I've been struggling with this lately. I currently store sorted by the Discogs sort order. A month or so back I expanded with three more cubes and spread the collection out leaving a little space in each cube. The extra space for growth resulted in some records having a slight learn. After...

    Guilty Pleasures

    I love the Eagles and Styx too. Hell, I bought the Styx vinyl box set not that long ago. 😂 But I agree with everyone else, I dont really care if anyone else likes it. My music is for me and my happiness. Life's to short to think any other way.

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    So question. Is the best method to clean a side, let dry and then clean the other side. Or do people clean both sides then dry? I'm using a Squeaky Clean.

    Let's See Your Collection! Any Size!

    I recently had to add a row of cubes because things were getting way to snug. I installed the new row and then spread the collection out a bit. Then, since I am clearly like to drive myself crazy I went down a internet rabbit hole in regards to record storage and how leaning in storage will...

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    So I got a Squeaky Clean a couple weeks back and just got my TTVJ cleaner solution this week so this weekend I will really clean some stuff proper. But until something weird I noticed and was wondering if it's a cleaning issue or something else. Is it normal for the outside of the record to...

    Record cleaning - what's your method?

    So I'm getting supplies for my Squeaky Clean and have a question. I ordered the TTVJ Vinyl Zyme concentrate. Once mixed with the distilled water how long does the mixture stay good? Also I thought I read in the old Squeaky Clean thread that some people did a cycle with the cleaner mix and...
