Plastic: Vinyl scan & listen
Scan & organize your vinyl
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
Your vinyl collection, organized your way: folders, sorts, notes, tags, and anniversary reminders. Scan any cover or barcode to identify, preview, and add it in a tap.
Plastic is a companion app for vinyl lovers. Scan any record in your collection or at the store to instantly identify it, explore its details, and keep track of what you own.
SCAN & IDENTIFY
Point your camera at any album cover or center label. Plastic uses advanced image recognition to identify the record in seconds — even rare or obscure pressings. When a cover doesn’t have visible text, deep visual search helps find a match.
EXPLORE EVERY DETAIL
Once identified, view the full tracklist, preview songs, and explore pressing information. See which versions exist, compare marketplace pricing, and understand the rarity of the record.
BUILD YOUR COLLECTION
Add scanned records to your personal collection with one tap. Browse everything you own in one place, organized and easy to navigate. Keep a wishlist for records you are still hunting for.
LISTEN & PREVIEW
Preview tracks directly in the app through Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud. Discover music from the records you scan without leaving Plastic.
YOUR CRATE-DIGGING COMPANION
Scan records while browsing in record stores to quickly understand what you are looking at. Check pricing data and pressing details before buying.
FREE TO USE
Scan up to 10 records per month for free. Upgrade to Plastic Pro for unlimited scanning and full access to all features.

more I used to browse kinda aimlessly in record stores, looking at album covers and backs without really knowing much about a lot of the albums I was looking at. Then I found this app and that experience totally changed. I can finally get the details behind the records without “Google it and hope for the best”.

Use this constantly when I’m at record stores. Scan a sleeve, instantly know which pressing I’m holding, and preview the tracks before dropping money on it. Saves me from buying duds. Exactly what a vinyl collector needs.

This release is focused on stability and performance.
Your collection stays put
Pull-to-refresh no longer blanks your shelf, and your genre, decade, label, and folder filters hold their place as your collection grows. No more glitches in collection.
Sharper scanning from photos
When you scan from a saved photo, Plastic now waits until it's genuinely sure of the album before matching — fewer wrong guesses, more "yep, that's the one."
IOS18 adjustments
A crisper frosted tab bar, a better-aligned Radar icon, and accent colors that quietly pick up the mood of whatever you're looking at.
Thanks for digging with us

What's new:
Vinyl color is easier to spot when comparing versions now. When color data is available, Plastic treats it as a real pressing detail, so limited and colored variants stand out more clearly in the picker list.
Focused reliability updates:
Release-only Discogs records now stay properly connected after a scan, so rare pressings without a Discogs master are less likely to show up as plain local albums in Recent Scans.
Scanning and recognition are sturdier under the hood too: reopened albums refresh more cleanly, and pressing details like release dates, format notes, labels, catalog numbers, and vinyl color are preserved more consistently.
We also tightened Apple Music matching, especially for compilations and tricky tracklists, so previews should be less likely to duplicate or drift to the wrong version.
1.32 May 31
Plastic got a fresh update:
• Radar is now in early preview for everyone: a new way to discover records through daily updates of newly released vinyl, album anniversaries on cards, and Deep Dives for records worth spending more time with.
• You can now identify records from saved photos and screenshots too, including shop and marketplace listings. Spot something online, save it, and let Plastic help figure out what record you are looking at.
• We also made the version picker sharper, so it is easier to compare pressing details like country, year, label, catalog number, edition, popularity, and vinyl color when available.
Plus: search is faster, tracklists appear sooner, previews behave better across Apple Music and YouTube, and Discogs sync is more reliable.
1.31 May 27
Now you can see if the album celebrates it's anniversary within a current week!
Also several bugs fixed:
- albums re-enrichment with tracks.
