MOD1
Import & Reconcile
Build a reliable master collection from the very first step.
MOD1 imports your Discogs collection either from a downloaded Discogs CSV export or directly through the Discogs API. It compares that source with the local master collection, identifies differences, and lets you decide exactly what should change.
- Import a downloaded Discogs collection CSV
- Load collection data directly through the Discogs API
- Detect new, changed, missing and review-required records
- Apply controlled repairs without overwriting trusted local data

Both methods feed the same reconciliation engine and produce the same controlled comparison against your master collection.

- Feeds directly into the same review and repair workflow
Compare
Master and Discogs data, visible together.
MOD1 aligns the local master with the incoming Discogs data so changed folders, fields, inventory state and other differences can be reviewed in context rather than accepted blindly.

Decide
Repair only what you approve.
Use targeted repair actions for folder names or selected fields, promote genuinely new records, and leave clean records untouched. The workflow is designed to protect local work while still keeping Discogs information current.
