Presentation

Thanks to Discogs: the biggest and more precise music database on the Web, we are able to recognize most of the music in the many formats you may use.

Kogi is currently based on character recognition. The main requirement for a successfull scan is text being present on the media.

What you need to do is simply to scan the release!

Most discs are recognized in less than 5 seconds!

Frequently Asked Questions


1) My disc is not recognized

Kogi's database is based on Discogs. If the release does not exist on Discogs, you will not be able to find it here. The recognition mechanism works with characters on the disc. If no characters are on the disc, we will not be able to help your find you release accordingly, even if it is a cute bunny ;-(.

You need proper lighting conditions when taking the picture, otherwise this will result in poor results. Discogs allows us to update our database only once a month. If the release is too recent, you will not be able to find it.

2) Is this application going to stay free in the future?

There are currently no plans to make the user pay at the moment. Although some future releases may introduce a mechanism to financialy compensate the author of the application.

3) I would like to submit some feedback.

Feedback is always welcome! You can contact kogi-app@nalto.eu if you have any suggestions, complaints or any bugs to report.

4) What does Kogi means?

5) How is privacy handled?
