VinylSearcher.com Launches First iPhone Vinyl Music Site
With the list of IPhone applications getting steadily bigger, many of them with dubious usability (Lightsaber app anyone?) it is refreshing to come across one that can be genuinely useful to a music lover.
The Vinyl Searcher app does exactly what you’d expect it to; it searches for vinyl records and it couldn’t be easier to use. You can search by keywords such as the name of the artist you are looking for, the style of music you are after and can even search by record label. If you’re looking to narrow down your search to something specific you can combine keywords.
Imagine you are a DJ travelling to a gig, you can grab those hard to find records while travelling in the back of the car. The app is not designed to replace a website, simply to complement it. Sometimes it’s cool to get things done on the move. This allows you to do that and if you are a member you only have to remember your email address and password. Easy.
Should you be unable to find the record you’re looking for there will be suggestions for what you were looking for such as common misspellings.
This app isn’t designed with aging punk rockers in mind, whatever your music tastes might be from Grime to Psychedelic Trance, through Country all the way to Western , anything in between and out the other side, VinylSearcher.com has a very diverse library.
On top of finding records VinylSearcher.com will give you an idea of the price, image of record and instructions on how to purchase it and give you a few examples of other records you may like.
So ultimately what we have here is an app that helps you find rare vinyl records, price them and buy them what more could you ask for? (Except maybe Lightsaber whooshing noises.)
