About Sleeved
EVERY COLLECTION
DESERVES A SLEEVE.
Sleeved is built on a simple belief: your music collection is your autobiography. We're here to help you write it, share it, and let others read it.
The vinyl market has been growing for 17 consecutive years. Gen Z is now the top buyer demographic. Physical music collecting isn't a nostalgic niche — it's a thriving global culture. But the tools haven't evolved with them.
Discogs is a database first, a community second. Combined Discogs + PayPal fees reach roughly 11.5% on typical sales. It treats every collection as inventory — rows in a database, not a personal story.
CLZ has great cataloging but no marketplace, no social features, and no way to share your collection. Spreadsheets are spreadsheets.
Collectors deserve better.
“A collection is not inventory. It's identity.”
Every record in your collection has a story. The album that changed your life at 16. The pressing you hunted for three years. The record you bought on a trip to Tokyo.
Your collection is personal, emotional, and irreplaceable. The platform should feel the same way.
A HOME FOR
COLLECTORS.
SLEEVES OF
NOTE.
The most interesting stories in music are told through collections. A jazz collector in Osaka who's spent 40 years curating Blue Note. A Gen Z enthusiast in Brooklyn building a hip-hop archive. A cassette collector in Istanbul preserving Turkish folk recordings no streaming service carries.
Sleeves of Note is our editorial series celebrating these collectors. We find fascinating collections and share what makes them special.
Because collecting isn't just about the records. It's about the people.

US.
STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS
OF THE MUSIC DATA COMMUNITY.
Sleeved enriches your collection with data from MusicBrainz (the open music encyclopedia), Cover Art Archive (community-contributed artwork), and Discogs (catalog data and import source). We respect the open data community that makes platforms like ours possible.
YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY
IS WAITING.
Whether you're a lifelong collector or just sleeved your first record, we built this for you.
