VinylCrate 2.0 is our biggest update yet. The Digital Curator update brings a warm, editorial aesthetic to your collection — cream surfaces, rich typography, and album art that finally gets the spotlight it deserves. Your most recently added record greets you at the top with a parallax hero. Every screen, from search to album details to insights, has been redesigned to feel more like a gallery and less like a list. Now in your car. VinylCrate now supports CarPlay. Browse your collection by artist, genre, or crate from the dashboard and play any album straight through Apple Music — hands-free, eyes on the road. Smarter, faster Discover. AI-powered recommendations arrive in about a quarter of the time, and the suggestions are tuned to skip albums you already own or have on your wantlist. Plus countless smaller refinements: a redesigned mini-player, instant-snap alphabetical scrolling, and improved performance throughout for large collections.
