A universe dedicated to vinyl enthusiasts, built with passion and evolving with you.
🌀 Why Vinyles.com?
Vinyles.com was born from a simple desire: to bring together in one place all the vinyl records still pressed and distributed in France, to facilitate searching, comparing, and the joy of digging… even online.
But also to be able to see at a glance availability, prices, features, and to be notified when an item is back in stock...
A project in full evolution
Vinyles.com is a new project that is constantly evolving and improving, with new features deployed regularly. We work with passion, but also with limited resources, to build a tool that will please everyone.
Thank you in advance for your patience, your feedback, and your indulgence with this ongoing project :-)
A bridge to enthusiasts
We are not trying to compete with independent record stores, those magical places where you connect with enthusiasts, discover unexpected gems, and feel the soul of music. On the contrary, Vinyles.com aims to be a complement: a digital bridge that connects vinyl lovers to the current music offerings, which are often abundant but sometimes difficult to navigate.
We want to help you find the perfect record, available and at the best price, while enriching your experience with modern tools.
🛍️ From online record store to platform for enthusiasts
In its early days, Vinyles.com was an online record store dedicated to new vinyl, with a carefully selected catalog and attentive customer service. But faced with the challenges of a market dominated by e-commerce giants, with their massive logistics and crushing margins, we had to rethink our model to remain independent and true to our values.
We had to reinvent ourselves, find a new way to exist. Today, Vinyles.com is no longer a store: it's a platform for exploration, information, and purchasing assistance, designed for those who love music.
📀 A reliable and exhaustive database
At the heart of Vinyles.com is a professional database from the French phonographic industry, fed by publishers and distributors. Mandated by the SNEP (Syndicat National de l’Édition Phonographique), a system makes it possible to list all vinyl records still produced and available for sale. This database ensures broad, up-to-date coverage, true to the offerings actually accessible in France.
Whether it's a new pop release, a collector's jazz reissue, an independent pressing, or a niche release, if the record is still pressed, it's on Vinyles.com – at least that's our ambition. This comprehensiveness, updated daily, makes our platform a unique resource for exploring current music offerings.
