Import and organize
Sync a Discogs collection, browse releases and tracks, edit in bulk, and keep the information around a physical library available when you need it.
PUBLIC VINYL RADIO / OPEN SYSTEM 001
Make your record collection legible.
GrooveNet is a self-hosted system for DJs and collectors: import your Discogs collection, enrich it, analyze the audio, and use what you learn to search, discover, and sequence music.
NOT A STREAMING SERVICE
GrooveNet starts with the collection you’ve built in the real world. It gives that collection a useful technical memory—release data, listening metadata, audio characteristics, and links between tracks—while the records remain the point.
CAPABILITIES / 02
A working catalog, not a dashboard.
Listen beyond the label
Essentia-powered audio analysis brings BPM, key, and mood into the catalog. Optional embeddings support vector similarity search.
Find the connective tissue
Search with full-text, fuzzy, and advanced filters; enrich tracks from Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud; discover relationships across the collection.
Build a more coherent set
Generate optimized playlists with a genetic algorithm using BPM, key, mood, and genre—then take your own judgment back to the decks.
Use it where you work
Manage the library through the web app, a scriptable terminal client, or an MCP server that lets Claude work with your collection in natural language.
Share collections
Browse and share collections with friends, so the system can reflect the social routes through which records move and music gets passed along.
IN USE / 03
One collection. More ways in.
The existing GrooveNet web interface is the operational view: catalog, track details, playlists, audio metadata, and the work of keeping a library useful.
