The crate
engine
A decision layer for finding the records worth buying.
Discogs has the inventory. Diggers Delight adds taste, provenance, ranking, listening, bundling, and alerts.
Seller, vibe, wantlist, forum thread, or saved scout.
Messy intent becomes filters, candidate records, and confidence bands.
Every record gets scored for taste, buyability, rarity, price, condition, audio, and provenance.
Audition records, open YouTube/Spotify/Discogs, save maybes.
Selected records become a seller-aware crate optimized for budget and shipping.
Likes, skips, and buys feed the taste graph and future alerts.
Seller Dig
Paste a Discogs seller and get the best records worth checking first.
“I found a seller with 8,000 records. Show me the 30 that matter.”
seller, taste, budget, condition floor, format, country
ranked buyable records, why-matched notes, crate shortlist
High taste fit, provenance, scarcity, sane price, clean copy.
Very promising. Listen now and compare copies.
Good signal but needs ears, provenance, or price check.
Do not interrupt. Keep as searchable inventory.
How it finds bombs
A bomb is not just a matched record. It is a high-signal record with taste fit, cultural proof, scarcity, a sane price, and a copy worth buying.
Matches saved styles, labels, artists, eras, and previous likes.
Appears in TrackID threads, DJ sets, comments, samples, or collector references.
Low supply, niche label, obscure country, or hard-to-find pressing.
Under median, under seller norm, or cheaper than equivalent copies.
VG+ or NM media, decent sleeve, no scary seller note.
Playable audio found so the user can verify quickly.
Same seller has other saved records, reducing shipping drag.
New listing, price drop, or watched-seller restock.
Six platform layers
The product stays understandable by separating inventory, metadata, enrichment, taste, ranking, and action.
Inventory

Metadata
Discogs release data: artist, title, label, country, year, formats, genres, styles.
Enrichment
Audio links, TrackID/forum provenance, setlist notes, price comps, seller quality.
Taste
Likes, skips, saves, crates, listened records, favorite labels, ignored styles.
Ranking
Bomb Score, taste fit, shipping score, seller quality, confidence scoring.
Action
Crate view, listen queue, buy links, CSV/export, alerts, saved scouts.
