Tag Release as "owned"

Adam Perkins

It'd be nice to have a specific status for "owned." I would like to be able to mark a release that I own on Vinyl already so that I can keep track of what is in my physical collection and what I want to buy.

This sounds like a good use case for the existing tags functionality - are you aware of it? If not, you can find it by going to "My List" and choosing the Table view (yes, we need to improve discoverability of this feature).

Basically you can create an "Owned" tag, or even an "Owned (Vinyl)" tag, and use that to organize your lists accordingly. You can then filter by this tag and also share it with others (e.g. https://digs.fm/<your-username>/digs?t=<tag-name>).

cratedigger: While that would work, I just wouldn't use the application that way. If that's my only choice, I'll just stick to my spreadsheet of owned albums because that's about just as easy for me.
Personally, it feels like it could/should be part of the "wants to listen/Listened/dig" lifecycle, because that's what's usually the case when I'm into the album. I put it on a list to buy. 
In order to be truly useful for this purpose, I would need the ability to mark an album owned from the search catalog page the way I Dig, or "want to listen" something. I guess you could hypothetically add a "tag as" option to the context menu.

To add to this. I would actually enjoy seeing it in my feed if my friends were to mark releases as owned. It'd be a useful piece of information to enrich the social interactions further. People could comment on the releases their friends acquire, etc.

So with that in mind, it really does seem relevant to remain a feature request, and should probably be part of the "wants to listen/listened/dig/owned" lifecycle if possible. Just my personal opinion though. It would be a great feature to have and to see.
