We feel so uplifted that so many of you have chosen Discogs as the place to direct your energy. Contributing to Discogs is fun, engrossing, and very satisfying. The online Discogs community of which you are a part is large, knowledgeable, established, and supportive. Music is a deeply important part of human culture, and we enrich each other’s lives with every new piece of data added.

Here Are Some Tips To Help Make The Experience Fun For All

Take your time. If in doubt, please check the guidelines, or ask the community for help.
Make sure your Database Notifications are turned on so you can respond to any updates by others.
Always be polite to each other. It is never a good time to get into online arguments, and now more than ever, we request you are considerate and calm with your fellow Discogger.
If you are doing a big update that affects a lot of releases, please post a message in the forums so others can double check it is a good idea.
