Mint: Vinyl Record Scanner
Identify & Value Your Records
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan any record — cover, barcode, label or Shazam — and know what it's worth. Price your exact pressing, hear it before you buy, and track your shelf's value.
Mint identifies vinyl records with your iPhone camera. Point it at a cover, a barcode or the centre label, or let it listen to what's playing. Mint finds the record on Discogs and shows the pressing, what it's worth and where to hear it.
• Identify by cover art, barcode, centre label or Shazam
• Discogs market data: the lowest listing for sale, Discogs' suggested prices for VG+ and Near Mint copies, and sold prices when Discogs has sales history
• Preview tracks with 30-second audio clips
• Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or Bandcamp
• Browse album images: cover, label, inserts
• Your scan history, saved automatically
• Search the Discogs catalogue
• Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your history across devices
Identifying records is free and unlimited, and no account is needed. Your first record's market values are free too. Mint Pro unlocks market values for every record, Change pressing to price your exact copy, your collection's total value, the story behind each pressing, and CSV export.

Mint 2.0.2 makes prices more honest and previews more accurate.
PRICES YOU CAN TRUST
• New "Sold" row: when Discogs has sales history for a record, see what copies actually sold for (the median and the range) and when one last sold.
• Every price column now says what it is: Discogs' suggested price for a VG+ or Near Mint copy, a sold price, or a current listing.
• Collection Value adds up only true VG+ suggestions, and shows how many records aren't in the total and why.
• Opening your collection quietly refreshes prices that are more than a month old.
• The price card shows your currency's own symbol, and prices saved in the wrong currency are repaired.
THE RIGHT SONG
• The 30-second preview now plays a track from the record on your screen, not just whatever iTunes found first. When Mint isn't sure, it says so: "Closest match".
FASTER
• Covers load faster and use far less data in your library and in search.
ALSO
• iPad: the Shazam countdown is back, and the camera walkthrough fits the screen.
• The notifications prompt now lists only notifications Mint actually sends, and collection recaps and reminders arrive in your language.
• Better Hebrew wording, and dozens of smaller fixes.
PRO, YOUR WAY
• Cancelled your free trial? Mint now offers Pro month to month instead, and the first month can be free.
• Mint no longer offers a free trial to people who already have Pro or have used theirs, and prices always show in your App Store's currency.

Mint 2.0: price the exact copy you're holding.
• New for Pro: the pressing picker. Enter the catalog number or pick the country of issue, and Mint prices that exact pressing.
• You choose how cover scans are priced: the most collected pressing or the original.
• Shazam scans now bring the full Discogs record, with prices.
• Faster, more honest scans: clearer confidence, no invented matches, exact barcode results.
• Community: a built-in text filter and clearer messages when something can't be posted.
• Better translations, accessibility and large-text support, plus many fixes.
Go find the pressing. Then go back out and dig.
2.0.0 9 Oct
A faster way to Mint Pro, and your shelf checks in.
• The Mint Pro screen now leads with what matters — plans, price, and the free trial sit right up top, details below.
• New: Mint checks in about your shelf. What you added this week, the record you're still hunting, fresh Mint Picks — never more than a few notifications a week, and only if notifications are on.
• Small fixes and refinements.
Go weigh the shelf. Then go back out and dig.
1.9.0 27 Aug
Your whole record — free. Only the values are Pro now.
WHAT CHANGED MOST

• Add to Collection, Liked and Wantlist work on every result, right away.
NEW
• Mint Picks refreshes every three days — new records, written up by our editors, waiting in your feed.
• Turn on notifications to hear when a record you own changes in value, when new Picks land, and before any free trial ends.
• Walk away mid-scan and it keeps going. Take a call, switch apps, come back — your record is identified and saved.
YOUR COLLECTION
• Every record shows its own value, and the total arrives with a running count-up. Low, median and high, in the currency you choose.
• Wantlist keeps the records you're still hunting beside Liked and Collection.
BETTER MATCHES

• Shazam results carry everything a camera scan does: the same pressing, the same prices, the record's story.
• Records with Hebrew and other non-Latin titles are matched far more reliably.
• Median and high prices show up whenever Discogs has them.
SPEAKING YOUR LANGUAGE
• Over a thousand strings translated across 19 languages. Whole screens that were still in English — comments, notifications, search, the daily feed — now read properly in yours.
ALSO
• A short guided tour on first launch, over your live camera.
• Purchases that need approval now say so instead of going quiet, and Restore tells you when there was nothing to restore.
• Sign in and your history is saved to your account, restored on any device.
• Dozens of fixes.
