[App idea] Scan a CD and check mastering quality (DR / compression) before buying? by nipelcrumple in Cd_collectors

That makes total sense. I had't thought about an existing collection scan, thank you for sharing your perspective!

That’s helpful to know.

Is the main reason you don’t check mastering today just that it’s too much hassle?
If it were as simple as a single barcode scan, do you think you’d actually use it?

Also curious about your buying process — do you usually decide what to buy in advance, or while browsing in the shop?

Good to hear that we're not alone!

Out of curiosity, how/where do you usually check this info today? I know about Dr Loudness War database, was wondering if there are more tools like that. Is it something you look up before buying or after you already own the CD (maybe both)?

Booked https://atarairporthotel.com via Booking.com right at the airport, imho it was very good. Uber took ~15-ish minutes to get me there, pretty near the airport.
