The Collection
Real records, films and collector needs provide the purpose and the standard by which every feature is judged.
The story behind BBaya.net
Collector first.
Builder by necessity.
Sixty years of collecting music, a lifelong love of computers, and one retirement project that grew into a connected system for organizing, presenting and selling media.
BBaya began as a practical way to manage a large personal collection. As the collection grew, so did the need for better research, clearer presentation, consistent visual assets, useful catalogs and less repetitive selling work.
Discogs Toolkit, RDM Play Studio and IconLab developed from those real needs. The website is therefore not only a place where the collection is shown—it is also a working demonstration of the tools behind it.
Everything you see is connected: the collection provides the purpose, the software provides the tools, and the design brings them together.
One connected collector ecosystem
From collection to presentation—and from presentation to sale.
Discogs Toolkit
Turns collection data into research, pricing, catalogs and market-ready listings.
RDM Play Studio
Turns media and metadata into a polished, enjoyable browsing and presentation experience.
IconLab
Turns raw images into consistent icons, screenshots, contact sheets and reusable visual assets.
BBaya.net
Brings the collection, software and visual language together in one public-facing home.
Collector First
Every tool began with a real collecting or selling problem—not with a theoretical software brief.
Design Has a Job
Clear visual language builds confidence, makes large collections easier to understand and helps listings feel trustworthy.
The Goal
Make collecting, selling and presenting a collection less repetitive, more coherent and far more enjoyable.
