Every song on Diskograf is more than just a title and a name — it’s a complete record of who made it. From the composer who wrote the melody to the producer who shaped the final mix, Diskograf surfaces the full story behind Malaysian music, one song at a time.

​
The Song Catalogue

The complete song listing lives at diskograf.com/songs. From there you can:
  • Browse recent additions — the listing surfaces newly added and updated songs, so frequent visitors can keep up with what the community has been contributing.
  • Use the search bar — type a title or phrase to search across the entire catalogue. The search works from any page on the site, not just the song listing.

​
Song Pages

Each song has its own dedicated page at diskograf.com/song/{id}-{slug}. For example: diskograf.com/song/20926-tersakiti. A song page brings together everything catalogued about that release:

Actions on a song page

Published song pages provide contribution actions for signed-in members:
  • Suggest an edit — open a section such as title, credits, release information, genres, labels, artwork, lyrics, notes, or links and suggest a correction.
  • Claim credit — if your account is linked to an artist profile, select the roles you performed on the song.
  • Share — copy the song’s public URL or use the page’s share control.
Edits are attributed to your account and recorded in the song’s activity. New songs use the separate Add a song flow and remain under review before they appear in the public catalogue.

​
A Note on Non-Latin Titles

Some Malaysian songs have titles in Arabic script, Jawi, or other non-Latin writing systems. Diskograf stores these titles faithfully while using stable, ASCII-safe slugs in the URL so that every song has a reliable, shareable address regardless of the script used in the title.
