The purpose of this was two-fold: 1) it helped keep the submission queue fairly small and manageable for moderators, and 2) it allowed the new user to acclimatise themselves slowly with the many formatting rules and guidelines of submitting to Discogs. The number of possible submissions by a user increased on a logarithmic scale. This version introduced the concept of "submission limits" which prevented new users from submitting more than 2-3 releases for moderation. An even smaller pool of super-moderators called "editors" had the power to vote on proposed edits to artist & label data. Submissions and edits wouldn't become visible or searchable until they received a single positive vote from a "mod". Version One (V1)Īll incoming submissions were checked for formal and factual correctness by privileged users called "moderators", or "mods" for short, who had been selected by site management. The system has gone through 4 major revisions. The data in Discogs comes from submissions contributed by users who have registered accounts on the web site. This new release dropped support for Xml, data is always returned in Json format, however the monthly data dumps of new data are only provided in Xml format.

Notable in this release was that a license key was no longer required, the default response was changed from Xml to Json, and the 5000 queries per day limit was removed (although a limit of 2000 image lookups per days was introduced) The HTML interface remains the only authorized way to modify Discogs data. Prior to the advent of this license and API, Discogs data was only accessible via the Discogs web site's HTML interface and was intended to be viewed only using web browsers. The license has since been changed to a public domain one.
In mid-August 2007, Discogs data became publicly accessible via a RESTful, XML-based API and a license that allowed specially attributed use, but did not allow anyone to "alter, transform, or build upon" the data.

However, at the beginning of 2008, the Market Price History was also made free of charge for all users, still giving up to a 12 month view of historical sales data for any release. At the same time, the US$12 per year charge for advanced subscriptions was abolished, as it was felt that the extra features should be made available to all subscribers now that a better, some may say fairer, revenue stream had been found from sellers and purchasers. It made information available to users who paid for a subscription -though 60 days information was free- access to the past price items were sold for up to 12 months ago by previous sellers who had sold exactly the same release. On 20 July 2007 a new system for sellers was introduced on the site called Market Price History. In 2006 the number of releases in the database passed the 500,000 mark.

Classical music started being supported in June 2007, and in October 2007 the "final genres were turned on" - now adding support for the Stage & Screen, Brass & Military, Children's, and Folk, World, & Country music genres and indeed allowing capture of virtually every single kind of audio recording that has ever been released. comedy records, field recordings, interviews) were added.

In 2003 the Discogs system was completely rewritten, and in January 2004 it began to support other genres, starting with hip hop. The site's original goal was to build the most comprehensive database of electronic music, organized around the artists, labels, and releases available in that genre. He was inspired by the success of community-built sites such as Slashdot, eBay, and Open Directory Project, and decided to use this model for a music discography database. The domain name was registered in August 2000, and Discogs itself was launched in November 2000 by programmer, DJ, and music fan Kevin Lewandowski originally as a database of electronic music.
