Introducing DiscoCat: Explore Your Music!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of DiscoCat, the music exploration, streaming, and cataloging app, now available for iOS, macOS, and visionOS! Built for music enthusiasts who want to dive deeper into their favorite artists and discover new ones, DiscoCat offers an unprecedented level of detail and functionality for exploring the world of music.
Beyond Just Streaming
While many music apps focus solely on streaming, DiscoCat takes a broader approach. The app provides extensive information about artists, releases, tracks, recordings, labels, and works that goes beyond what’s typically available in the major commercial streaming services. Users can explore complete discographies, not just what’s available through streaming contracts, and discover connections between artists, record labels, and creative works.
Key Features
Discover: Search for musical artists, record labels, and creative works, with detailed information including full discographies, band members, related artists and works. Tap on a genre to find other artists in the same genre. The app also includes Shazam integration to identify externally playing music.
Detailed Release Information: Every release includes comprehensive details such as track listings, all the release versions, and detailed zoomable artwork often including photos of physical media such as records and album covers. View release versions grouped by format or country.
Streaming Integration: Apple Music and Spotify subscribers can stream directly within the app. For users without streaming subscriptions, external links are provided when content is available in streaming catalogs.
Personal Collection Management: Rate and bookmark artists, releases, release-versions, tracks, recordings, works, and record labels using whatever rating scheme you prefer. Collections can be organized by genre, country, format, or rating.
Smart Discovery: Show suggested artists based on genres from your favorite artists. Keep track of recent releases from artists you follow. You decide how far back you want it to go.
Rich Data Sources
DiscoCat draws from multiple authoritative music databases including MusicBrainz, TheAudioDB, Cover Art Archive, Discogs, and Wikimedia Commons, ensuring comprehensive and accurate information about artists and releases.
Subscription Model
While basic features are free, users who want to save more than 10 items of any type must subscribe to unlock unlimited bookmarking and rating capabilities, and with no app-imposed rate limits. The subscription can be shared by all members of your iCloud Family.

DiscoCat is available now on the App Store for iOS, macOS, and visionOS. Visit the DiscoCat product page to learn more about the app, or download it directly from the App Store link below to start exploring music like never before.
