Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with Vinyl Identifier?

Simply download Vinyl Identifier from the App Store or Google Play Store, open the app, and start taking photos of your vinyl records! You can capture the album cover, record label, and back cover for comprehensive analysis. The AI will analyze the images and provide identification, pressing details, condition grading, and approximate valuation. Remember: This is an informational and entertainment tool only - always consult professional record dealers or grading services for official appraisals.

What can Vinyl Identifier analyze?

Vinyl Identifier uses Google Gemini AI to analyze images and identify vinyl records. The app provides artist and album identification, pressing variant detection (first pressing, reissue, promo, etc.), Goldmine condition grading for media and sleeve, matrix/runout number interpretation, and approximate market valuations. You can also organize your collection with storage management features. Results are APPROXIMATE and for informational/entertainment purposes only.

Is Vinyl Identifier free to use?

Vinyl Identifier offers basic features for free with daily usage limits. Premium subscription tiers (weekly and yearly) provide enhanced features and unlimited identifications. A 3-day free trial is available with the weekly subscription.

Can I trust Vinyl Identifier's valuations?

IMPORTANT: Vinyl Identifier is an INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT TOOL ONLY, not a professional record grading or appraisal service. AI can and will make mistakes, and valuations, condition grades, and pressing determinations may be significantly inaccurate. You MUST NOT rely on this app for insurance claims, estate valuations, buying/selling decisions, or any critical purposes. Always consult professional record dealers, grading services, or certified appraisers for any valuations that matter.

What if Vinyl Identifier gives incorrect results?

AI technology can and will make mistakes, errors, and provide inaccurate identifications, condition grades, or valuations. This is why Vinyl Identifier is strictly for informational and entertainment purposes only. ALL IDENTIFICATIONS, CONDITION GRADES, AND VALUATIONS ARE APPROXIMATE. Always verify with professional record dealers or grading services for any important decisions. We take absolutely no responsibility for errors. If you notice issues, please contact us at mbviksva@gmail.com.

How does the collection storage feature work?

Vinyl Identifier lets you organize your identified records into storage units and cubes that mirror your physical storage setup. You can assign records to specific locations and track your collection. Note: This is a convenience organizational tool only and does NOT constitute professional inventory management, insurance documentation, or verified collection records.

Is my data private and secure?

Vinyl record images are stored locally on your device. Images are temporarily transmitted to Google Gemini AI services for processing but are NOT stored for long-term storage by Google. Because images are processed by Google and not stored on our servers, we CANNOT delete images from Google's systems. Please see our Privacy Policy for more details about data handling and Google's data retention policies.

Troubleshooting

App won't open or crashes frequently

Try closing the app completely and reopening it. If the problem persists, restart your device. Make sure you have the latest version of Vinyl Identifier installed from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Slow response times from the AI

Response times can vary based on Google Gemini AI server load and internet connection. Try checking your internet connection and restarting the app if responses are consistently slow.

Poor identification results

For best results: use good, even lighting; place the record/cover on a neutral background; avoid shadows and glare; capture both the album cover and the record label for comprehensive analysis. The double-sided scan provides significantly more accurate results than single-image analysis.

App keeps asking for permissions

Vinyl Identifier requires camera access to take photos of vinyl records and storage access to save your collection history. Grant the necessary permissions in your device settings under Privacy & Security.

Images aren't cropping properly

For best results, make sure your vinyl record or album cover is well-lit and clearly visible. Use the crop tool to center the subject in the frame. Avoid shadows and reflections on glossy surfaces.

Still having issues?

If none of these solutions work, please contact us at mbviksva@gmail.com with a detailed description of your problem, including your device model and OS version.
