DigDog
Frequently asked questions
What DigDog does with a Discogs collection, what it costs, and where your data lives.
What is DigDog?
DigDog is a free web app that turns your Discogs collection into a fast, visual library. It signs in with your Discogs account, downloads your collection and wantlist into your own browser, and lets you browse, search and chart the records you own.
How do I see how much my Discogs collection is worth?
Connect your Discogs account, and once your collection has synced DigDog shows its value on the home page as a low, median and high figure. Those numbers are calculated by Discogs itself rather than by DigDog, so they match what your Discogs account reports.
Can I get price alerts for my Discogs wantlist?
You can set a target price on any wantlist item, and DigDog flags every item currently at or below its target whenever you open your wantlist. It does not send email or push notifications: there is no server holding your wantlist to send them from, so the flags are something you check rather than something that interrupts you.
What analytics does DigDog show for a Discogs collection?
The analytics page charts your collection by genre, style, decade, format, label and your own ratings, drawn from the records you actually own. The charts are built from the copy already in your browser rather than fetched on demand, so they appear as fast as the page does.
Is my collection data private?
Yes. Your collection is stored inside your own browser, on your own device, rather than on a DigDog server. There is no DigDog account, and no copy of your collection anywhere else: the one part of DigDog that runs on a server simply passes your requests along to Discogs and stores nothing. Notes and target prices you add stay in your browser too.
Is DigDog free?
Yes, and there are no paid tiers. You need a free Discogs account, which is what you sign in with — there is no separate DigDog account to create.
Does DigDog change anything in my Discogs collection?
No. DigDog reads from Discogs and never writes back to it. Notes and target prices you add in DigDog are stored only in your browser and are never sent to Discogs.
Which browsers does DigDog work in?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and Safari 17 or later. DigDog needs a modern browser to store your collection on your device, so an older one shows a setup message rather than a partly-working app. Safari Private Browsing is not supported, because it can leave DigDog waiting instead of telling it storage is unavailable.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your collection and wantlist are downloaded again from Discogs next time you connect, so nothing is lost — just fetched afresh. The exception is the notes and target prices you added yourself, which only ever existed in your browser. Export those from Settings before clearing site data or switching browsers.
Is DigDog made by Discogs?
No. DigDog is a personal project built by one person in their spare time. It is not an official Discogs product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Discogs.
