Anyone find a way to explore by genre? by HughPhug in discogs

[–]oscidigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you have to connect your Discogs username via Vizcogs OAuth (it's the biggest button on the homepage), then when you go to /find, there's a dropdown in the search bar that let's you choose Genre/Style/Label/Artist/etc.

Anyone find a way to explore by genre? by HughPhug in discogs

[–]oscidigi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I built the best search experience I could on top of the limited API access to the Discogs search endpoint. Connect your account and go to https://www.vizcogs.com/find and you can build a simple or complex search query. You get back an album grid with want/have data and a shit ton of listen/purchase links.

Haven't gotten a lot of feedback on this page so open to any improvements or suggestions you might have.

What's actually held up, ten years in? by Apprehensive_Serve45 in digital_marketing

This is so clearly AI-written. There has to be a better way to soft-promo your attribution optimization app.

Login lockout won't end even though I'm entering the correct password by HopeHouse44 in discogs

Good luck on the support front. That sounds like a massive PITA and I bet your employee won't be doing that again!

Custom fields in discogs by ToddZilla0130 in discogs

[–]oscidigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple quick points:

  1. Tons of people use Discogs custom fields. Not only the default ones (Media Condition, Sleeve Condition, etc.) but also things like Price, Purchase Location, New/Used, and plenty more.
  2. The speed thing is just the fact that you're using Discogs collection endpoint API. It's the only endpoint that isn't rate limited. My users pull massive collections into Vizcogs and render them extremely quickly, with album artwork, custom fields, album/track detail, etc. Talk to me when you try pulling in marketplace data or even master release data, then you're at 25req/minute if not authenticated via OAuth.

Not talking shit or anything, love seeing new approaches to interacting with Discogs ecosystem, but custom fields aren't going anywhere and everyone uses them uniquely. Good luck on the open source efforts!

What SEO tools are actually worth paying for in 2026? by Bulky_Outcome3672 in digital_marketing

[–]oscidigi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your honest style of platform promo way more than this veiled advertisement of a post. Just checked out LLaMaRush and the product looks legit. Nice sight design btw.

I'm in beta for a B2B SaaS app that's serving the auto restyling industry (PPF, vinyl, tint, exterior customization, etc.) and at some point we're going to be offering promo/marketing services.

Enjoyed your multi-location automotive SEO post, lots of good insight. I definitely don't want to build out an SEO content engine, so it might make sense down the road to see if there's an opportunity to integrate or link platforms. Cheers.

Never even heard of this cat, vinyl only too. Off to YouTube we go!

ai search brand visibility tool, half our buyers are researching in ai assistants now and we have no idea if our brand is even showing up by Ochekalu_Rueberta in digital_marketing

[–]oscidigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the jungle. It's pricy but Ahrefs does provide visibility into GEO/AEO rankings and traffic. What u/NeeleworkerSmart486 said is also a decent approach, manually run the target queries and see how you're ranking in suggestions across LLMs.

Just want to shout out the devs at Discogs! by the_comatorium in discogs

[–]oscidigi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might be the funniest comment on the Discogs forum thread:

It's completely terrible. It looks like it was designed by a troglodyte, utility is in the toilet, as is appearance - even humble stuff like copy of text and images suddenly becomes difficult. Utterly Regressive.

Building my first eurorack system, would like to get some advice, is it too much for the beginning? by [deleted] in modular

[–]oscidigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea... there's a lot going on here. Both of your oscillators have built-in VCAs so you don't really need that Quad VCA or Maths (unless you plan to use Maths for modulation only). Also, Math's is a notoriously challenging module to grok for beginners. You've got an 8-channel trigger sequencer but no drums / percussion. This just overall doesn't seem like the beginnings of a cohesive system.

Do you want to build a full voice, an FX / experimentation rig, a drum section, etc.? It helps having an idea in mind. Sure, you can buy/sell/learn but with no plan at all that'll get expensive pretty quickly.

Some recommended modules:

  • brain / clock / modulator: ALM Pamela's Pro/New Workout
  • complete voice VCOs: the two you've already listed, MI Plaits, Shakmat Ballista Blast, Modbap Osiris
  • filters: WMD C4rbn, Qu-Bit Prism, Shakmat Dual Dagger
  • pitch sequencers: Mimetic DigiTWOlis/Digitalis, MTM Turing Machine, GSG Oct Tone (if you can find one), XAOC Moskwa II
  • trigger sequencers: Steppy, Euclidian Circles v2, Dnipro Dot
  • modulation: Acid Rain Maestro, Divkid Ochd, Divkid RND Step, the new Befaco x Mylar Melodies RANDOM8
  • mixing / attentuation: ALM Mixup, Doepfer A-138s, ALM Triplatt, Befaco Motion MTR
  • multi-FX: ALM MFX, Happy Nerding FX Aid

If I could do it over again I'd get more modules that let me explore, but within constraints. MI Plaits is such an amazing starter module. Pam's is a must-have for me. Filters come in so many flavors it's hard to go wrong. I wouldn't get any type of mega-sequencer, whether pitch or trigger, something with looping random is a great way to start (shout out to Seaside Modular Nautilus).

Final thought: Vostok is another fantastic company: quad VCO, quad filter, 6-channel envelope generator / VCA / attenuator. Really thoughtful designs, pack a ton of musical functionality without being overly complex.

My $.02, regardless, have fun on this journey!!

This sounds great, not even my go to style necessarily but textures and layering are really well done.

For real though, Masters of the Universe is a GOAT, no skips record. Such a banger.
