Record Club is a social music network. Sure, that sounds a bit vague—but that’s the point. We encourage you to use and interact with this platform in any way you see fit.
Here’s a few suggestions…
Organize & connect
Use it as an organizing tool for keeping track of new and old albums, or for interacting with other people on the platform.
Collect & share
Showcase your current rotation of albums that are on constant repeat, or use your queue to remind yourself what to listen to next.
Your opinion
Rate, review and tag releases, and add them to lists that you either share with the world or only yourself—and so much more…

Proudly independent, fully bootstrapped, and driven by our community.
We’re an independent, bootstrapped social platform born out of the belief that the best way to discover music is through friends or people whose taste you trust—not A.I. or algorithms.
By focusing on a community-driven approach, Record Club helps you uncover new and old music through recommendations and reviews from real people. Our goal? To make music discovery personal, meaningful, and fun again.
The obvious comparison is Goodreads and Letterboxd (or for that matter, Rate Your Music). So if you’ve already used those platforms you will feel right at home here.
The lingua franca for music.
Record Club sources almost all of its data from MusicBrainz, an open-source project that aims to unify the web's music data via their MusicBrainz Identifier.
Some other notable projects that use MusicBrainz to augment and improve data include Last.fm, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, etc.
We believe the world's music data should be open and accessible to everyone, not controlled by big commercial entities deciding what is or isn’t on their platforms. MusicBrainz is not only the universal lingua franca for music—it's also completely crowd-sourced, just like Wikipedia.
An added benefit of using open data is portability and freedom from vendor lock-in. If you ever decide to leave Record Club, your data is transferable to any other service that also utilizes MusicBrainz. Great, right?
