Yes, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/rateyourmusic.com\/\">Rate Your Music<\/a>, but its interface is crowded, and it feels more geared towards longer-form reviews than cataloging your listening habits and connecting with other fans. Record Club is clean and modern, with a streamlined interface that\u2019s quite similar to Letterboxd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The basic features you\u2019d expect from such a site are all there. You can rate and review records or mark them as listened to. You can also see what your friends are listening to and see what albums are trending with other users. There\u2019s a spot on your profile to list your five favorite albums, plus five records you have in heavy rotation. You can also create custom lists (ranked or unranked) and share them \u2014 handy for tracking your top albums of the year, or putting together genre-specific crash courses. You can also add records to your queue, so you can keep track of albums you want to listen to, but haven\u2019t gotten around to yet. (I\u2019ll probably be making extensive use of that.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">You can follow your favorite artists as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/report\/821614\/discover-music-without-algorithms\">entire record labels<\/a>. That makes it easy to stay on top of new artists on labels like 4AD, AD 93, Fire Talk, and Warp. Record Club pulls all of its data from the open-source music encyclopedia <a href=\"https:\/\/musicbrainz.org\/\">MusicBrainz<\/a>. If you sign up, <a href=\"https:\/\/record.club\/terrenceobrien\">give me a follow<\/a>, and see what I\u2019m spinning on repeat this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/936829\/record-club-letterboxd-for-music-nerds\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There isn\u2019t really a solid equivalent to Goodreads or Letterboxd for music lovers, but Record Club is aiming to change that.
