A lot of great suggestions.
On organization - here are 10 different methods to organize. I bet there is at least one way you've never thought of, and might like. I'm actually a fan of release year.

You sound like you are slow to jump into an app to organize. You have nothing in the world to lose trying out Discogs. Put in a couple of albums and see if you like it. There is a massive benefit to that system - the notes people have submitted are incredible. Honestly, given the love for details, I'm surprised more people didn't say Discogs as no other way to do this.
In those Discogs listings are more details about each release than you can ever imagine. My personal favorite - runout / matrix listings. You can pretty much definitively determine which release you own. Honestly, dollar value is fun, but a lot less useful.
And, if you are ever out buying records, you will never buy a duplicate.
