Discogs (kortform for discographies, dvs. diskografier) er et websted, som består af en crowdsourcing-baseret database med information om lydoptagelser, og en tilknyttet markedsplads (køb/salg), samt et debatforum.

Databasen tillader alle former for kommercielle og ukommercielle udgivelser, promoudgivelser samt uofficielle udgivelser, så længe de er blevet udgivet til offentligheden.[6] Discogs er i dag den største internet-baserede database for udgivne musikindspilninger og andre lydoptagelser.[7] Webstedet har (pr. 13. december 2023) 16.927.661 udgivelser, 8.850.067 kunstnere og 2.054.930 pladeselskaber (Medregnet alle stilarter, genrer og formater),[8] samt 691.974 brugere,[9] og 74.378.249 markedsplads-opslag.[10]

Historie

Discogs blev oprettet i november 2000 af Kevin Lewandowski (DJ, musikfan og tidligere Intel-programmør), som en database over elektronisk musik.[1][2][11] Databasen blev udvidet i 2003 for, at understøtte andre genrer end elektronisk musik.[12] Markedspladsen blev etableret i 2005-2007.[13][14]
