MusicBuddy: Mis vinilos y CD

Buena herramienta para organizar tus discos. Tiene múltiples opciones para poder filtrar tu colección; sin embargo, la base de datos es limitada y queda muy por debajo de Discogs. Sin embargo para tener un control interno es buena.

Categorizing albums has never been easier. No longer entering music data by hand or having to burn a CD to have info stored on a computer. Multiple ways to inquire about data; scan bar codes or manually enter info. Fifty albums are free with app; Five dollars gets unlimited albums. With a few thousand cds, this is a bargain. So far no issues with crashes. Like every thing new, navigation takes a little getting used to but nothing that causes frustration. They have a FAQ section or email them.

inevitably where there's an update, one of my systems will return “sync disabled”, requiring me to re-enable it and then wait for my library to sync again. quite frustrating. at the very least, it could remember which service i had selected previously instead of forcing me to choose one again. also, a proper Mac version would also be welcome, rather than the iPad app running in Mac OS. definitely works and is better than nothing, but having a proper Mac UI would be a delight. it's also frustrating when it comes to adding albums. about 5% of the time, an album won't be in whatever database Music Buddy uses, even fairly common stuff. it happens often enough to be a pain. it'd be great if we could then submit albums we enter manually to that database to help others avoid the same issue. and entering albums manually could be expedited if there was a native Mac version. just a thought. but it's relatively straightforward to use, if a bit clunky here and there, and has helped me avoid buying dupes more than once.

Limited use. After spending an hour to enter cd’s you get a message that you have reached the limit. You must pay. Should have made that clear first. I don’t recommend

Any application that prompts me to rate it three times in less than 5 minutes gets docked two stars.

I started collecting vinyl last year and just got this app to track what albums I have. I love that you can customize your categories and usually when you use the barcode scan function all of the info will be correct. I use this to track my old CD collection now too and it works very well.

The application is nice, the appearance is good, you get to scanning and then……you hit the limit, saw nothing in the documentation about a limit and then you have to upgrade $$$$s. As such, back to an excel spread sheet.

We were buying duplicates. This makes it easy not to keep doing duplicates.

There are few apps that I consider essential and that provide high value to the user. This is one of them. It does what I need it to do.

I’ve tried many of them and nothing beats the simplicity of Music Buddy! Thank you for a great app!
