History

Vinyl.com was launched in May 2023 by Jaxsta as part of a strategic expansion from music metadata services into consumer e-commerce. [1] [2]

In December 2023, Jaxsta rebranded as Vinyl Group Ltd, positioning Vinyl.com as its consumer-facing retail brand alongside Jaxsta and Vampr, and later, Serenade and Vinyl Media. [3] [4]

Since its launch, Vinyl.com has introduced features like personalized collections, wishlists with back-in-stock notifications, and exclusive product drops. The platform has expanded to serve customers in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, and Canada. [5] [6]

In June 2025, Vinyl Group announced proposed terms to acquire the domain name off its licensor and major investor, Songtradr. [7]

Operations

Vinyl.com sells new releases, limited edition colored pressings, and reissues across a wide range of genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, country, jazz, metal and more. The site integrates official music credits from the Jaxsta database, allowing buyers to view verified credits for contributing artists, producers, and engineers.

The platform has also trialled exclusive collaborations with record labels to distribute limited edition variants directly to fans. [8]

Reception

Independent sources have noted Vinyl.com’s credibility and positioning. The review site ScamAdviser gave Vinyl.com a high trust score, citing a valid SSL certificate and low risk indicators. [9] Forbes Australia described Vinyl.com as “a global record marketplace” following its launch. [10] Billboard reported on Jaxsta’s Bizzy Award win, highlighting Vinyl.com’s role in leveraging renewed interest in physical formats, calling it "a vinyl-hunter's dream". [11]
