Short for discography (as defined by Oxford, “a descriptive catalog of musical recordings, particularly those of a particular performer or composer) Discogs is a crowdsourced database and international marketplace. If you’re aching for a retro record such as the disco from the 70s, original country, golden oldies, or some blue note jazz, here are the best places to buy CDs and vinyl online.

While everyone thought Steve Jobs would all but kill the recording industry when he invented iTunes and the iPod, it turns out that’s not true.
