Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the notification system work?
The notification system is designed to keep you updated on new vinyl releases from the artists you follow. When you follow an artist, you will receive notifications for all new vinyl releases from that artist. These notifications include direct purchase links to make it easy for you to grab your favorite albums.
Q2: How often does the service search for new vinyl releases?
A comprehensive scan for new vinyl releases is started every 10 minutes. This frequent search ensures that you have the best chance of discovering and securing the vinyl records you're interested in before they sell out. Our goal is to make sure you never miss a vinyl release from the artists you love.
Q3: What sources does the service search to find vinyl releases?
The service searches a variety of sources to find new vinyl releases. These sources include the official websites of record labels, artists, and online music stores. The service also scans social media platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit to find announcements for new vinyl releases.
Q4: Can I be sure that I won't miss a release from the artists I follow?
While we do our best to ensure that you don't miss any releases, we cannot guarantee that you will receive notifications for every release. This is because some releases may not be announced on any of the sources we search. However, we are always working to improve our search capabilities and will continue to add new sources to our search.
Q5: Why did I receive multiple notifications for the same release?
If you received multiple notifications for the same release, it is likely because the release was announced on multiple sources. For example, a release may be announced on the artist's official website and at an independent record store. If we discover these announcements separately, you will receive a notification for each one. We are working to improve our search capabilities to avoid sending duplicate notifications.
Q6: If the service is free, how is the website funded?
The service is funded by me (the developer) and by donations from users like you. If you find the service useful, please consider donating to help keep the service running. Your donations will help cover the costs of running the service and will allow me to continue improving the service for everyone.
Q7: Will this service become paid in the future?
While I aim to keep the service free for as long as possible, server costs can add up over time. If I find myself reaching a certain limit with server expenses, it may become necessary to introduce some sort of subscription model for the service. However, my primary goal is to continue providing an invaluable resource to vinyl collectors and music fans.
