I recommend Discogs. It takes a while, but worth it. It also provides some knowledge of what your LP’s and collection collectively is worth.

Breaking out one of my Solti boxes.

ALSO I LOVE UR ECLECTIC TASTE ,, spent some bucks on your postings lol

Yikes! Welp, hope you are pleased 😁

In terms of Discogs, the best way is to look up each of your LP’s per the record company release #, then figure out which pressing you have. Yes, that takes work, but once input, newer LP’s don’t take as much time. It’s the initial inputting of your collection that takes time. But again, IMO, worth it.

You can then ‘group’ LP’s by genre, etc. to your own created genre categories. You can also search by artist, group, composer, record label, etc.

Discogs is fairly intuitive once you get going creating your collection.
