Hi product hunt! Thrilled to have Vinylize.it on product hunt. Vinylize.it is (currently) for Soundcloud users to create a campaign for soundcloud tracks they want on vinyl. We also have made QRATES (http://qrates.com) which enables artists and labels to start crowdfunding/pre-orders for their vinyl release as well.
We made Vinylize.it so we can prepopulate vinyl demand for tracks before they go live on QRATES. We hope it'll be a fun tool for music fans and a useful tool for artists to discover their most passionate fans.
@rrhoover ah, that would be awesome! Just need to add one thing though, all records that eventually get pressed are initiated by the proper rights holders of the record, NOT the Soundcloud end user. However, that said, we're seeing innovation in the rights management front as well, and hope that these custom on demand vinyl ideas become reality in the near future!

good idea! you should probably filter out tracks that are too long to be pressed on vinyl though, over 20 minutes or whatever it is.
@johan_mickelin Our WYSIWYG vinyl builder will indicate if your track won't fit on a side!

I asked this before on Qrates and I'll ask again. There aren't enough pressing plants right now to handle all the production requests, especially because of RSD and Urban Outfitters. who are you going to use and how long is it going to take me to get 500 7" made? 8, 9 months? It's cut throat out there.
