We use a number of different services to catalogue what we watch and listen to.
I’m a bit of a stats geek so to begin with these are what we use to keep track of everything.
Last.fm – used to be massive but we still love it. Track all the music you listen to and compare trends. You play music in iTunes or Spotify, and it keeps count. They have a great guide with links to all the apps and services supported. This is a free service. My username is tobyw7
and Annabelle’s is AnnaC7
Discogs – catalogue your music collection. Started using this when I got my record player last year and I’m now loving it. I buy the majority of my LPs via the Discogs marketplace which is a dedicated buy/sell site for music. The mobile app keeps getting better! My account is tobyw7 (spot the trend!)
My Movies (app) – introduced by my girlfriend’s Dad, John. This is proper nerd stuff, catalogue your entire movie collection, add tags, labels, filter by genre, actor, and anything else you can imagine. Direct links to IMDb, and to trailers. The app is free for up to 50 titles but it’s well worth paying for. We love it! Check it out at www.mymovies.dk
Internet Movie Database (IMDb) – Now owned by Amazon but still as good (until they removed the forums). Our inspiration for creating this blog, was the removal of the forums and to open a place for discussion and comment. We wouldn’t be without this site, and would probably still be cycling through our Apple TV trying to find something to watch! Your go to resource for any film buff. Check it out at www.imdb.com
