No listening station in the record store? Label Mate solves that in seconds. Then it keeps going: BPM and key for the records at the gig, labels for the sleeves, live Discogs prices for what you're buying and selling, and inventory management for sellers at record fairs. It's all here.
Hear the record within seconds via Apple Music with full album context and tracklist. Falls back to YouTube when a match isn't on streaming.
OCR, barcode scanning, and album cover matching: multiple strategies work together to identify your records against a catalog of 7.5M+ pressings.
Musical key in Camelot codes, BPM detection, and a waveform view: everything you need to read a record and plan your next mix straight from a scan. Tap along to set the tempo by ear.
Don't trust a BPM you didn't check. Long-press the BPM badge and Doctor Beat loops a bar of the track seamlessly at the tempo you dial in; if the loop drifts, the number is wrong. Doctor Key does the same for the key, playing the scale over the loop so you can hear the fit.
Set a crate active and every record you scan drops straight into it. Flip through it like a real bin, or print a crate sheet: a one-page rundown of everything you brought, covers and catalog numbers included. Pro members can print every label in the crate in one batch run.
Log in with your Discogs account to manage your collection and wantlist, browse releases, print labels, and see live marketplace pricing in multiple currencies.
List a record for sale straight from a scan. Pick the exact pressing, grade media and sleeve condition, and set your price from Discogs's suggestions, then save as a draft or publish live.
A whole booth in your pocket. Tag a crate, batch print the seller labels, move it into inventory, and you're open. Ring up the buyer's stack by scanning each tag's QR, dial the haggled price for the whole lot, and take Cash, Venmo, Cash App or Zelle. Your payment QR goes right on screen.
Every sale lands in the day's report: gross, records sold, orders, how people paid, and a timeline of when. See what's still for sale at a glance, print the report at the end of the day, or export the whole thing as CSV for your books.
Wrap your 12"s the way a Japanese pressing arrives: a printed spine band carrying the artist, title, label, catalog number, year, style and the full tracklist, with a QR that plays the record. Pull it off the shelf and everything you need is already facing you. Pro members can print one image sliced across a whole crate, so the picture assembles along the spines once the records are filed in order.
Three label types from one sheet: DJ labels with BPM & key, seller price tags with live Discogs values, and full info inserts on 4×6 or US Letter. Every label carries a QR code that plays the record even faster than a cover/label scan. Pair a booth printer and every sale prints the buyer a receipt on the spot.
White label? Promo? Worn beyond reading? Browse your Discogs collection or type a label by hand, then dial in position, time, BPM, and key with a Camelot wheel, no camera required.
Can't decide what to spin? Tap ROLL and Label Mate plays a random record you own. Long-press to roll your wantlist instead.
Scan a record that's on your wantlist and Label Mate flags it on the spot, plus a heads-up when the record in your hand sells for over $50.
Auto-add every record you scan to an Apple Music playlist and build your digital collection as you dig in the physical realm.
Every crate-digging trip becomes a story card: a mosaic of everything you scanned with the total haul value, sized for Instagram Stories. Single finds share as polished cards too.
Label Mate is not a static catalog. The records you scan, the tempos you tap, and the keys you confirm quietly teach it, and the next person to pull that record out of the bin gets the answers you found. It gets better the more it gets used.
Scan a record and the app works out which Apple Music track that pressing really maps to, which YouTube video is the right one when it never made it to streaming, and which barcode belongs to which pressing. Tap out a tempo, or settle a BPM and key with Doctor Beat and Doctor Key, and that's an answer too. You’d be surprised how often automatic key and BPM detection gets it completely wrong.
Nothing is taken on one person's word. A value has to be independently corroborated before it's promoted into the shared database, so a mistapped tempo goes nowhere. BPMs are folded across octaves first, so someone counting a track at 70 and someone counting it at 140 are treated as agreeing, because they are.
Because of this: Eventually, the BPM and key are already filled in when you scan a record. Every record. The right song plays first time instead of everyone having to search on YouTube or various streaming services. The tunes that streaming forgot... still play. Pressings that no data dump has ever heard of resolve from their barcode. That's thousands of diggers doing the work once, for each other. Thank you all!
Anonymous, and yours to switch off. Look - we don't like making accounts for things. You don't either. You'll never need an account to access Label Mate, and it will remain that way. Contributions carry no personally identifiable information, no device identifier, and nothing that ties a record back to you: a catalog number, a tempo, a key, a video id. We don't track your user data because we don't care about that. We care about digging, exploring and tagging records. If you don't want to contribute: it's one toggle in Settings, “Help improve the database”, and turning it off costs you nothing in the app. Details are in the privacy policy.
New features, walkthroughs and record-fair clips land on Instagram first. That is also the fastest way to reach us.
