Third-party Discogs collection browser and Spotify playback controller
Spinner for Discogs is an unofficial third-party desktop client for Discogs.
Browse your vinyl collection, discover wantlist picks, and control Spotify
or YouTube Music playback — all from a single desktop app.
Requires a free Discogs Personal Access Token from discogs.com/settings/developers.
discogs_player v0.2.3
Summary
Release type: stable
Tag: v0.2.3
Date: 2026-06-28
Scope: first-run / supportability polish (in-app "Report a problem", clearer web setup errors, quieter snap first launch) plus internal quality hardening (CI lint/type/test gates, shared coercion utilities, webapp unit tests).
Who This Is For
Discogs Spinner is for record collectors who already use Discogs and want a faster daily utility than browser tabs. Bring a Discogs personal access token, sync your collection once, then browse your shelf, spin a random pick, inspect market value, and review wantlist context from one local app.
Highlights
Adds an in-app "Report a problem" path — a header-menu entry in the GTK desktop app and a persistent footer link in the web/desktop app — so reporting an issue no longer requires hunting for the repository.
Makes web setup errors clearer by distinguishing token/auth failures from network failures, matching the desktop setup wizard's wording.
Quiets repeated GLib schema warnings on first snap launch by precompiling the bundled GSettings schemas.
Hardens the launcher: a broken or partial PyGObject install now shows the install-dependencies guidance instead of a raw traceback.
Internal quality: CI now enforces lint, type checking, the full Python test suite, and webapp lint/type/tests on every change; duplicated coercion helpers were consolidated into shared modules; and the webapp gained its first unit-test suite (vitest).
