Vinyl Record Value Scanner: IQ
Scan Cassettes, Albums, & CDs
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snap a record, cassette or CD to find its pressing and its price for every grade from Mint to Good. Track your collection's value and keep a want list.
Vinyl IQ tells you what a record is and what it's worth. Take a photo of a record, cassette or CD, and Vinyl IQ reads the release, finds the pressing and shows its market price by condition.
Vinyl IQ is made for crate diggers, record store and flea market shoppers, collectors, and anyone sorting through a box of records they inherited.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take a photo of the cover, choose one from your library, or scan the barcode.
2. Add the label, back or runout to pin down the pressing.
3. Vinyl IQ reads the artist, title, format, label, catalog number, year and country.
4. See the matching pressing and its price, pick the grade and save it to your collection.
PRICES BY CONDITION
