Find answers to common questions about transforming your code into music and pressing it to vinyl.
It’s the sound of a slightly chaotic modular synthesizer, capturing the rhythm of your code and pressed on vinyl. The result is a digital tone delivered with the warmth of analog, crafted in one of 2 unique musical styles.
But here’s the real magic: the music is just one part of the experience. These records are designed to be displayed, framed, and admired. They’re conversation pieces—physical proof of your digital achievements that doesn’t require a screen or being online. A tangible representation of your work, ready for the wall.
MD5 Records is part record label, part software company, and part music project that was dreamed up in Lawrence, Kansas.
It all started when we finished a big software project for a client, and wanted to give them a keepsake of our work.
We were founded in 2024 with the goal of giving software teams unique and collectible vinyl experiences that would thoughtfully showcase their creativity.
Our hope is that these records create a sense a pride and belonging for software engineers, software consultantancies, and software teams. So often the only demonstration of our work ends up on a harddrive in a data center thousands of miles away.
A lathe cut record is a handcrafted vinyl, made one at a time in real-time using an experimental process on stereo record lathes. Each record is treated as an individual art piece, making your album a truly unique and personal creation.
The records take approximately 6 weeks to record, produce and ship.
Delivery speed varies by the service you select during checkout but media mail typically takes 5 -10 Days.
We will email you the tracking number for your shipment when your order is picked up by the carrier.

Some of our templates for the back of the sleeve come with an author table. It looks like a track list. But represents individual contributors to the project instead of tracks
This is a really great way to recognize everyone on the team, or the top contributors to your open source project, or show a client all the folks that pitched in on their project.
