01
Import
Bring in a retailer product page and review the detected information before it enters your queue.
VINYL//QUEUE
Keep your vinyl preorders in one place.
Invitation-only trial
Less inbox archaeology. More records to look forward to.
As a collector who regularly preorders records, I know the sinking feeling of realising months later that something still has not arrived, then trying to remember where it was ordered. Vinyl//Queue grew from wanting one reliable place to keep track of it all.

Trial questions
Straight answers before you ask to join.
The current pilot is deliberately small. Here is the careful detail on assisted imports, privacy and access.
Using Vinyl//Queue
The basics of building and maintaining your personal preorder queue.
What is Vinyl//Queue?
Vinyl//Queue is a personal tracker for vinyl records you have preordered, especially when those orders are spread across several shops and release dates. I built it as a fellow collector who wanted one reliable place to remember what I had ordered, where I had ordered it and what was still on the way.
What can I keep track of?
Artist, release or album, vinyl variant, retailer, price and currency, expected release date, order reference, artwork, notes, and whether a preorder is active, received or cancelled.
How do I add a preorder?
Manual entry is always available. Vinyl//Queue can also inspect supported public retailer product pages and attempt to fill useful product information. You review the result before saving it.
How do I sign in?
The trial is invitation-only and uses passwordless email magic links. Invited users receive instructions and sign in with their invited email address.
AI & importing
How assisted imports work, and where your own review still matters.
What does the AI assistance do?
It can help extract missing product information and, when necessary and available, recover information from public retailer pages. It is an assistant, not an authority, so important details should be checked against the retailer or your order confirmation.
Where does the imported product information come from?
Vinyl//Queue works from information retailers publish on their public-facing product pages. It does not log in to your retailer accounts or read your private order history, and the information does not come through referral or affiliate relationships. The import tools read and, where necessary, scrape those public pages to identify useful details such as the artist, release, variant, price and expected date. Not every page can be accessed successfully, and automated extraction or AI assistance can be incomplete or incorrect, so you review everything before saving it.
Do I need my own OpenAI API key?
For an Included-AI trial account, no personal API key is required. AI assistance is supplied by Vinyl//Queue and is subject to account and service limits. BYOK is a separate account mode for users who supply their own supported OpenAI key.
Is imported or AI-generated information guaranteed to be correct?
No. Retailer pages change, and automated or AI extraction can be incomplete or wrong. You remain responsible for reviewing the price, variant, release date and other important information before saving or relying on it.
What happens if AI is unavailable or I reach a limit?
Your library remains yours. AI assistance may temporarily stop, but normal manual functionality remains available, subject to your account’s access state.
Privacy, account & trial
The careful detail on data, access and what this early trial involves.
What is private?
Your preorder library is yours. Other Vinyl//Queue users cannot see your identity, order references, notes or personal preorder records.
Does Vinyl//Queue share anything between users?
Vinyl//Queue may remember limited product facts found on public retailer pages so that the service can better recognise the same release in future. Those reusable public facts are kept separate from personal customer data. Your identity, notes, order references and complete retailer pages are not shared with other users.
Do you make money when I buy a record?
No. GrooveGridsUK and Vinyl//Queue are not referrers or affiliates for the retailers shown, and I do not receive commission, referral fees or any other payment when you buy a record. Retailers do not pay to appear in Vinyl//Queue either. A shop appears simply because a collector has a preorder with it, which does not imply endorsement or any commercial relationship.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. Vinyl//Queue currently provides an account export and permanent account deletion.
How much does the trial cost?
There is no public Vinyl//Queue subscription plan during this invitation-only trial. Any future pricing will be communicated separately before users are asked to move to a paid service.
Is this finished production software?
No. This is an active, small-scale trial. Features may change, retailer imports can break, and trial users are being invited partly to help expose rough edges before a wider release.
What do you want from trial users?
Normal, genuine use, plus useful feedback when something is confusing, inaccurate or fails. This is not employment or a formal QA programme.
How do I ask to join?
Contact GrooveGridsUK by email or WhatsApp. Access is manually approved and capacity may be limited during the trial.
