Exporting your Music Collection

CLZ Music for your iPhone comes with an example database. This database is replaced by your own, when you export your collection for the first time.

Ready? Okay, let's go.

Export using WiFi

First, you need a WiFi connection on your iPhone. It has to be connected to the same local area network (LAN) that your Windows PC or Mac OS X computer is in. You also need Apple's Bonjour Print Services for Windows installed. Bonjour comes free with iTunes. If you don't have iTunes installed, you can also download it from Apple.
In the CLZ Music app, go to the Import page (tap the down arrow in the bottom right corner). This will make your app visible on the WiFi network.
Now start Music Collector on your Windows or Mac computer and click the Export to CLZ Music Mobile Application button:

You can also click: File > Export to > CLZ Music Mobile Application
Music Collector will automatically detect your iPhone. It may detect more devices. That's okay. Just click the name of your iPhone to select it (1) to enable the Start Export button (2). This button is grayed out when no device is selected.
You can export your whole collection, or a just a selection of Albums (for example your Wish List, Albums in a certain genre like action, or from a certain year). When exporting only a selection, you must select the Albums you want to export in Music Collector on your compute before clicking the Export to CLZ Music Mobile application button.
For your first export, you check the Replace option under Collection on Mobile Device. Next time, after you have altered your collection on your computer, check the Update option, instead of Replace. The collection on your iPhone will then be updated with only the new additions to and changes that you've made to your collection.
Click the Export button and sit back and relax while your collection is being exported to your iPhone or iTouch. Depending on how large your collection is, this may take a while. Time for a fresh cup of coffee. Or such.

Export using USB-cable

Exporting your Music Collection to your iphone is quick and easy. Follow the steps below and you'll have your Music collection on your iphone up and running in no-time.

Exporting the file to your computer

Start Music Collector on your Windows or Mac computer and click the Export to CLZ Music Mobile application button:
Select the Export to file option. By default, the location for the file is the Music Collector folder (Windows) and the Desktop (Mac). If you want to save export the file to a different location, click the Browse button and select the location.

Importing the file to CLZ Music on your iphone

Now, the only thing you need to do, is to get the exported file (clzmusicdata.zip) to you iphone, using iTunes.

Note: You need iTunes version 10.0 or higher. If you are still on an older version, you can update iTunes for free by opening iTunes, and from the menu click:
iTunes > Check for Updates or download the latest version from Apple.

Now, click the Apps button in the top menu and scroll down to the File Sharing and click the Add... button to add your exported Music Collection which is called: clzmusicdata.zip

Tip: You can also drag the file to the CLZ Music HD Documents screen.
