Wax by Wax

one record at a time

Turn what you play into what you own.

Paste a playlist. We tell you what actually exists on vinyl, and where to buy it.

Your streaming app knows what you listen to. It doesn't know what you'd want on a shelf.

That gap — between what you play and what deserves to exist in your hands — is the whole product.

One

Paste a playlist.

Paste a link or drop a file. Any playlist saved as a file comes in.

Two

We find what exists on wax.

Not every track was ever pressed. We check each one against MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopaedia, and tell you plainly what isn't there.

Three

Every pressing ever made.

Year, country, label, colour, how many exist — then the shops that actually have it. Some records are nearly gone: Portishead's Dummy, the record everyone's heard, exists in surprisingly few editions.

Your playlists already know what you'd love on wax.

Here's your crate. Take it.

Open Wax by Wax

Keep your crates — they follow you to any device.

The honest bit.

It won't find you the cheapest price on the internet. It shows which shops list a record today, cheapest first, and links you straight to them. None of them pay us.

No link here pays us. If one ever does, it will be marked "Ad". Pressing facts come from MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopaedia.

Good questions.

What if my playlist link doesn't work?

Some services build their playlist pages in your browser, so the link carries no tracks. Save the playlist as a file and drop it in instead. Some apps can do that themselves; for the rest, a free playlist converter will. The app shows you how when it happens.

Which links pay you?

None, today. If that ever changes, those links will be marked "Ad" — and we will never reorder results to put a paying shop first.

Do I need an account?

No. Everything works in your browser without one. Signing in with your email keeps your crates so they follow you to another device — that's all it does.
