Needl Vinyl

Needl Vinyl is a productivity application that scans, catalogues, and values physical records while syncing live lyrics and streaming data.

Needl Vinyl helps music enthusiasts manage physical record collections. Users can scan barcodes or photograph album sleeves to identify exact pressings and add them to their digital library. The software tracks collection values using real marketplace data, imports libraries from Discogs, and syncs with Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL. It features live lyrics and visualizers that sync with the music playing on a turntable. Additionally, built-in AI assistants provide liner notes and answer questions about the user's shelf.
