Launched in 2000, the site was the brainchild of then-Intel programmer Kevin Lewandowski, who wanted to catalogue his collection of electronic albums.
But the platform really took off in 2007, when it added a marketplace feature that allowed users to buy and sell vinyl.

Discogs was registered in November 2000 by programmer, DJ, and music fan Kevin Lewandowski with the goal of building the largest online database of electronic music.
Discogs has the most comprehensive online collection of audio recordings in the world.
In 2003 the system was completely re-written to support other genres starting with hip-hop. Over time this grew to include classical, jazz, rock, blues, Latin, funk, soul, reggae and even non-music like comedy records, field recordings, and interviews.
It took about six months working nights and weekends on Discogs, and I launched it in November 2000.
When we launched the marketplace in late 2005, it was pretty clear within the first year that it was going to be big, and that that was where I should focus revenue-wise.
