About CDThing
CDThing is the fastest way to build a library of your physical CD collection. Point your camera at the barcode on any CD case. CDThing looks it up on MusicBrainz, pulls the full release — track listing with durations, multi-disc layout, genre, record label, release year — fetches cover art from up to five sources, and adds it to your library in under ten seconds. No typing. No searching. No friction. Working through a crate? Batch Scan Mode queues confirmations so you stay in a rhythm. WHAT YOU GET • Full track listings with individual durations • Multi-disc support with automatic partitioning • Cover art picker sourcing from Cover Art Archive, Deezer, iTunes, Last.fm, and Discogs • Storage location, condition, and loan tracking • Star ratings and personal notes • XMCD export for CD ripping tools • iCloud sync between Mac and iPhone • Export and import your library as JSON No account required. No subscription. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud.
