Start with the pressing
Write down label, year, and country when you can. A 1978 UK first press and a 2014 reissue are different records. Over time you will see which versions you reach for most.
A listening journal for your records.
You pull a sleeve off the shelf, drop the needle, and the room changes. But next week you forget which pressing you played, or what mood matched that late-night session. This archive keeps that memory tied to the record.

How to get the most from your archive
Use mood tags that mean something to you
Pick words you will actually search for later. "Late night" and "rainy day" are more useful than "good" or "nice". You can always add your own tags beyond the presets.
Log reissues and originals separately
A common mistake is writing only the album title. If you play both the original and a remaster, log them as separate sessions with different pressing notes. That way you can compare them later.
Export once a month
Your data lives in the browser. If you clear site data or switch devices, it is gone. Hit Export CSV at the end of each month and keep the file somewhere safe.
Print a monthly report
Use the Print button to save a clean list of that month's sessions. It is a nice way to look back at the end of a season and see what you were listening to.
Common troubleshooting
If a session is missing, check the filter. If the form will not submit, make sure Album, Artist, and Date are filled in. If stats look wrong, try reloading the page to refresh the counts.
Example scenarios
Rainy Sunday afternoon
You put on a Coltrane record while it rains. Log it with mood "Rainy day" and occasion "Alone". Add a note about the room and the speakers. Next time it rains, search "Rainy day" and you will find it.
Comparing two pressings
You own two copies of the same album. Log each session with different pressing notes. After a few listens you can look back and see which one you preferred and why.
Party playlist on vinyl
You host a small gathering and play three records. Log each one with occasion "Friends over" and mood "Party". Later you will know which records worked best for that setting.
