Introduction
Music Collector's Wish List allows you to easily keep track of albums you desire, but don't yet own. You can add albums directly to your wish list and quickly move them to your collection. You can quickly switch between your wish list and albums you already own using Music collector's Collection Status filters. With our CLZ mobile apps you can also export your wish list to a mobile device.
Collection Status Filters

There are two main distinctions.

Adding to your Wish List
The easiest way to add albums to your Wish List is via the Add Albums Automatically screen. In the bottom right corner of the Add Automatically screen, you have two radio buttons. Use these to define whether an album will be added to your collection or to your wish list.
When you add an album to your collection and put it on your wish list, an icon will appear next to the album in your Main List as well as in the Detail Template.
