EP/38: VINYL COLLECTING

How to Catalog Your Vinyl Collection like a Boss with Jeffrey Smith of Discogs

LISTEN ON: APPLE SPOTIFY STITCHER

You probably know by now that Vinyl is making a comeback. Record sales have been growing like crazy for the past 10 years. But even before vinyl was cool again, Discogs was building a site to help collectors catalog their records and sell them to anyone around the world. Founded in 2000, Discogs has grown to become one of the top music sites on the web.

To help us get inside the vinyl underground and the rise of Discogs, we’re joined today by Jeffrey Smith, Director of Growth Marketing. Jeff has been with the company since 2017 and comes to Discogs after 13 years as Founder and Principal Publicist of Crash Avenue, a boutique music public relations firm. Jeff joins us from Louisville, Kentucky. Dive into Discogs at discogs.com.
