Digging guides
How to find, save and organize the music you discover. Each guide answers one question DJs and collectors ask every week, and shows how to do it with Diggit.
- capture tracks from anywhere
How to capture tracks from anywhere into one place
Instagram, YouTube, Shazam, a screenshot or a record shop: save every track you find into Diggit, so it stops living in five different apps.
- sort tracks into crates
How to sort the tracks you discover into crates
A crate is a folder for your digs: a genre, a gig, a radio show. Here is how to file tracks as you find them, so preparing a set is opening one crate.
- buy tracks you discovered
How to cop the tracks you saved, when you actually need them
When it is time to buy, your digs are already in a crate with a preview and links to Bandcamp, Beatport and Discogs. Listen, decide, then buy.
- find song from Instagram reel
How to find a song from an Instagram Reel (and keep it)
Heard a track in an Instagram Reel? Here is how to identify it when the audio says “Original audio”, and how to save it so you actually listen to it later.
- find song from TikTok
How to find a song from a TikTok and save it for later
TikTok shows “original sound” and the track is nowhere in the comments? Here is how DJs identify a song from a TikTok and keep it in one place with a preview and buy links.
- identify a song from a screenshot
How to identify a song from a screenshot
Got a screenshot of a story, a tracklist or a now-playing screen? Diggit reads the text on the image, finds the track, and saves it with a preview and buy links.
- identify a vinyl record from a photo
How to identify a vinyl record from a photo of the cover
In a record shop or at a friend’s place? Take a photo of the sleeve or label, and Diggit identifies the record, gives you a preview and shows where to buy it digitally or on vinyl.
- save songs from Instagram
How to save songs from Instagram (without losing them in saved posts)
Instagram saved posts are where good tracks go to die. Here is how to save songs from Instagram into a real music inbox, with the track name, a preview and buy links.
- organize Shazam tracks
How to organize your Shazam tracks as a DJ
Your Shazam library is a long list with no genre, no decision and no buy link. Here is how to turn Shazams into sorted crates with previews and purchase links.
- find song from YouTube video
How to find a song from a YouTube video or set clip
A track in a YouTube video, a channel upload or a set clip caught your ear. Here is how to identify it, preview it and get the buy link in one step.
- where to buy a track
Where to buy a track you found online (Bandcamp, Beatport, Discogs)
You have the name of the track. Now where is it sold, as a download or on vinyl? Diggit attaches buy links to every saved track so you go from ID to checkout in one tap.
- DJ wantlist app
How to keep a DJ wantlist that you actually buy from
A wantlist spread across Bandcamp wishlists, Discogs, Beatport carts and notes never gets bought. Here is how to keep one wantlist with previews and buy links.
- how to organize music you discover as a DJ
