Editing a record's details

Any detail on any record can be changed whenever you like. Open the record and you’ll find a pencil on each of its three cards. Which one you want depends on what you’re changing.

The record itself

The pencil beside the title edits Title, Artists, Year and Label. Those are the four things Cover Recognition fills in for you, so this is the one to reach for when a match came back with a slightly different pressing or a year that’s a little out.

The cover art isn’t in here. To change that, tap the camera button on the cover itself. See A record’s cover art looks wrong.

Record Information

The pencil on the Record Information card opens everything else in one long form:

• Genres, Tags and a Description
• Storage Location, where the record lives
• Condition & Value: media and cover condition, brand new or second-hand, and what you reckon it’s worth
• Physical Details: catalogue number, country, format, colour, production count, pressing year, barcode, speed, size, weight, number of discs, packaging, the matrix / runout, and whether it’s a compilation
• Ownership & Lending: where you bought it and when, who you’ve lent it to and when, and who you borrowed it from

On the card itself, a group only appears once it holds something, and the same goes for the individual details inside it. A record with nothing under Condition & Value simply doesn’t show that heading, which is what keeps the screen from filling up with empty labels. Open the pencil and every field is there waiting, filled in or not.

Track List

The pencil on the Track List card edits the tracks themselves: titles, times and the running order.

Saving

Each card saves on its own. Tap Save to keep your changes or Cancel to drop them, and do it before you leave the record or move to another one. Nothing is kept until you save. See I can’t leave a record I’m editing.

Once saved, the change lands in your collection straight away. If you share a collection on a Duet or Band plan, everyone sees it too.
