Question 1

What is Harbor?

Accepted Answer

Harbor is a vinyl collection platform that lets you catalog, archive, and curate your record collection. It goes beyond simple cataloging with features like pressing identification, Goldmine-standard condition grading, real-time Discogs market valuation, and the ability to create shareable folios and sub-collections.

Question 2

Can I import my vinyl collection from Discogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Harbor supports full Discogs collection import and sync. You can bring over your entire Discogs collection including release data, and Harbor will enrich it with pressing details, condition tracking, and market valuation.

Question 3

Is there a free plan for managing my vinyl collection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Harbor offers a free tier that lets you catalog up to 25 records with full features including condition grading, Discogs lookup, and location management. Paid plans (Collector and Archive) unlock unlimited records, Discogs import, public galleries, and advanced curation tools.

Question 4

How does vinyl condition grading work in Harbor?

Accepted Answer

Harbor uses the Goldmine grading standard (Mint, Near Mint, VG+, VG, G+, G, Fair/Poor) for vinyl, sleeve, and inner sleeve condition. Grading is tied to real-time market valuation from Discogs so you can see how condition affects your collection's value.

Question 5

What makes Harbor different from other vinyl collection apps?

Accepted Answer

Harbor is built for archival depth, not surface cataloging. It combines pressing identification, matrix/runout transcription, production credits, provenance tracking, and AI-powered analysis with cinematic curation tools like folios, sub-collections, and public galleries. It treats your records the way museums treat art.
