By
George Ilias
Needed another two minutes in the oven. A half-baked bagel.
Summary
Crates is a new music collection management app designed for music enthusiasts who want to organize their scattered music libraries from various sources like Spotify, Discogs, Bandcamp, and YouTube. The app allows users to import music, organize files with artwork and metadata, sync across mobile devices, and discover new music through user-shared recommendations rather than algorithms. It emphasizes data ownership and long-term music enjoyment.
