Vinyl Record Value Scanner: IQ

Scan Cassettes, Albums, & CDs

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

What's that record worth? VinylIQ scans vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs — then tells you what they're worth. Barcode scan or photo recognition. Works at thrift stores, yard sales, record fairs, estate sales, and your own collection. Point, scan, know. Discogs is a marketplace. VinylIQ is a valuation tool. We answer one question: "What is this worth?" Instantly, from your phone, while you're standing in front of the dollar bin. HOW IT WORKS: Scan the barcode on any record, cassette, or CD. No barcode? Take a photo of the cover — VinylIQ's AI recognizes album artwork and identifies the release. You get the title, artist, pressing details, estimated market value, and condition grading guidance. VINYL RECORDS: Scan or photograph any LP, 7", 10", or 12" record. VinylIQ identifies the specific pressing — first press, reissue, promo, import — because pressing details are what determine value. A first press is worth 10x a reissue. VinylIQ knows the difference. CASSETTES: The cassette revival is real. Urban Outfitters, Target, and Walmart sell new tapes. Vintage cassettes from the 80s and 90s are collectible. Yet nobody has built a proper cassette valuation tool — until now. VinylIQ identifies tapes by photo or barcode and pulls market data. CDs: Japanese imports with OBI strips. Box sets. Limited editions. Numbered pressings. CDs have value too — and VinylIQ covers them. CONDITION GRADING: Not sure if that's VG+ or NM? VinylIQ includes a visual condition grading guide based on the Goldmine standard — the universal grading system for physical media collectors. COLLECTION CATALOG: Build a library of everything you own. Track what you've scanned, what it's worth, and what's on your wishlist.

All valuations are estimates based on recent market activity — not certified appraisals. Actual sale prices depend on condition, buyer demand, and market timing. VinylIQ is a reference tool for collectors, not a substitute for professional appraisal.
