This is the friendly, no-jargon corner of DVinyl. If the README and the docs are about installing DVinyl, the Wiki is about using it once it is up and running.
You do not need to be a developer to follow these guides. Grab a drink, and let us tour your new collection manager.
- Getting around DVinyl Your first steps: add items, scan barcodes, search, filter and browse your collection, and manage your wishlist.
- Virtual shelves Draw your real furniture and see every item standing on its spine, right where it sits at home.
- Lists and playlists Gather items into lists (a backlog, this year's favourites) and tracks into playlists.
- Import your collection Bring in your existing library from Discogs, Musik-Sammler, Goodreads, Libib or any CSV file.
- DVinyl on your phone Install DVinyl as an app and add items on the go.
- Printing labels Print QR codes and barcodes for your items, one by one or a whole sheet at a time.
- AI assist Optional: recognise items from a photo, import a shelf from a picture, and draft new collection types.
- Customizing your instance Make DVinyl yours with themes, dashboard widgets, navbar shortcuts, startup preferences and more.
- Users and sharing Collections, user roles, sharing your library, public share links and single sign-on.
- Backups and restore Save, move and restore your data: collection backups versus whole-instance backups, ZIP with images, CSV export.
- Create a custom plugin (no code) Build your own collection type from the app, without writing a single line of code.
