How to Use This Planner
Start With the Release List
Browse the current year's RSD releases. Click any title you are interested in. It will appear in your grab list on the right. You can search by artist, title, or label to find specific releases quickly.
Mark What You Own
If you already own a title, mark it in the collection section. It will be removed from your grab list so you do not waste money on duplicates. This is especially important for reissues and anniversary editions.
Set Your Budget and Priority
Enter your spending limit. Then adjust the priority slider. If you care most about rarity, slide left. If you want titles you will actually play, slide right. The grab list re-ranks in real time.
Print Your Grab Sheet
Hit the print button to get a compact, in-store reference sheet. It lists your Tier 1 titles first, with estimated prices and a checkbox for each one. Fold it and put it in your pocket.
