Superb service for a superb product

Simple to use, provides exactly what I was looking for. I have had a problem logging in so contacted the support team, within 15 minutes the problem is identified, solved and removed. This all took place at around 8.30 Monday evening, which is 9.30 Dutch time. — Dave Brown (United Kingdom)

I love your programs and feel they are worth every cent I’ve spent on them over the years. Please tell everyone that they are doing an awesome job and to be proud of their accomplishments.
Service has always been 150%. Thanks again. — Doug Zylenko (Canada)

You guys rock

I just wanted to say (and pass this along to Alwin) that I was looking into my archives (I archive every MFin’ thing,) and I came across a thing called “kic3alpha1.zip,” timestamped 19990814. Yes, I’ve been rocking your software since 1999, when it was “Keep It Compact.”

I had to fall out of subscription because of some lean years, but I’m back in. I DID drop the Music Collector because I wrote my own juke box that, while it was not as robust as Music Collector on many fronts, it fulfilled some core functions that were outside of the specs of your software.
However, your other platforms, especially Movie Collector, are downright delightful.

The main thing I want to say is this: When you stick with a software vendor for twenty years, that means they’re doing something right. I’ve always had nothing but positive experiences dealing with the support at Collectorz.com (and I remember having some spirited back-and-forth with Alwin all those years ago.) You guys rock.

Thanks for being a great software provider, — Michael Petro (USA)

Your software is AWESOME!

By the way your software is AWESOME!! It is incredibly easy to use and pretty much hassle free. Your pricing also is really great and now you're adding the only thing that I thought would improve your system which is the pricing guide. I would hate to be you guys right now because you've done such a good job so far it's going to be hard to keep improving!! Once again great software and great customer support and pricing. — Nelson Fountain (USA)

Pleased with the software

I’ve been using the music, movie & book collector software for many years now and have always been pleased both with the software (approx. 37500 entries in the music one alone!), and the speed at which you and your team respond to any queries, so thank you for that and long may it continue! — Mark Johnson (United Kingdom)

Happy camper

I have been with CollectorZ (Music & Movies) for a couple of years or more. I have been Happy with every fix and upgrade they have made. They have taken this old codger from caveman to computer guru. Well not quite...guru maybe but not a computer guru.
Thank You Gang for continuing to make it better. Keep it up and I might just renew (lol). — Larry Nuese (USA)

Great company

You know that you (Collectorz.com) are a great company, right? That everyone there seems to me to be doing something they like doing and doing it well.
As the Aussie’s say - Good on You. — Dean Crystal (USA)

Your company is awesome

I noted in your last update email that you mentioned some people were wondering when the latest CLZ mobile update was coming. I just wanted to say that your company is awesome. Of all the applications I have (and I have many) your CLZ applications are updated on an incredibly regular basis. I have a great deal of admiration for the job you and all in your organization do. I can only imagine the amount of work that takes place in your organization.
With heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for a great product and your dedication to continuing to make it better and better! — Jacqui (Canada)

The speed at which you replied was just awesome.. Never in my life have I had a company or person respond as quickly as you guys..
Wow 10 /10. Well done. — Malcolm Johnstone (United Kingdom)

Latest Collectorz.com news

The Game Collector software has allowed you to add your gaming hardware (consoles, controllers, etc…) to your database for quite a while. However, that has always been manual entry. Not surprisingly, one of the top feature requests for our game database solution has been the ability to add hardware automatically by searching an online database.

So… that is exactly what we created for you!

First, we set up a separate database in our Core for gaming hardware, with all the right fields.
Then, we created a in-house CMS tool for actually filling that hardware database.
At that point, the big project started for our content managers: finding console and accessory information online and manually filling the database with as many consoles, controllers, light guns, etc.. they could find. All with descriptions, box images, device images, backdrop images, sometimes even YouTube promo videos.
After many months work, our hardware database now lists 1500 console editions and just over 500 controllers.
So it is finally time to release our new “Add Hardware from Core” feature!

Add Hardware

Find the new Add Hardware screen by clicking the Add Hardware button on the toolbar.

Add Hardware by title

This screen should be familiar to you as it works the same as the Add Games screen. Start typing the title of your hardware item, and pick it from the Search-as-you-type” suggestions.

Or refine your search by setting the type of hardware and picking a platform:

Add Hardware by barcode

You can also find hardware by scanning barcodes via the “Barcode” tab. Scan a bunch of hardware items and add them!

TIP: Use CLZ Barry to quickly scan a bunch of barcodes here!

Add Hardware Manually

If you can’t find your hardware item, you can click the “Not found? Add this hardware anyway” entry at the bottom, and add that to your collection.

Or just use the old menu Edit > Add Hardware Manually to do so.

Find Device and Box Image

Use the “Find Online” buttons in the Edit Hardware screen if you want to find a different device or box image!

Hardware in your collection

Hardware has been a part of our Game cataloging software titles for a while. You can edit a hardware entry the same as you can edit a game entry, and you can now add two images (device and box image) to them as well.

TIP: To quickly group on hardware, click the folder button and select “Games / Hardware”.

New: Sync your own back covers and audience ratings

Back Covers

With this big update for Game Collector we have another surprise for you: Syncing Back Covers!

We introduced a new checkbox “Custom Image” in the Edit screen for back covers of games. This checkbox will be automatically checked when you replace the Core image, e.g. by using Find Cover Online, by dragging and dropping or by using the Browse button to add a local image.

Once this Custom Image box is checked, that cover will automatically sync to and from the CLZ Cloud.

Same as with custom front covers, you can automatically check your database for custom images by clicking menu Tools / Maintenance / Auto Mark Custom Images.

Also, they will always stay marked as custom, so that even if you clear your cloud and sync everything again, they will re-upload automatically.

Audience Ratings

One of the top requested fields to be added to the sync is Audience Ratings… so this field now syncs to and from the CLZ Cloud.

What about the mobile apps?

We’ll be adding the audience rating and back cover fields to the sync of the CLZ Games apps (Android and iOS) within 3 months. Back covers (editing and syncing) will also be added to all Collectorz.com Movie, Book, Comic and Music products.

This post is about CLZ Books Android v5.0.7 and CLZ Music Android v5.0.8

Fixed:

Permission dialog will now pop up in the barcode scanning screen when the app does not have camera permissions.
Small text fixes

This post is about CLZ Books iOS v5.0.5, CLZ Music iOS v5.0.5 and CLZ Movies iOS v5.0.2.

Improved:

When trying to send a support e-mail, instead of showing an error message, redirect to a web based contact form if there is no e-mail address set in the E-mail app.

Fixed:

Re-added the ability to save a cover to the photo’s app in the edit screen. (Long-press the cover)
Small text fixes

Today, a subtle addition to your Music Connect software, but one that can save you a lot of time if you’re always adding your CDs by barcode:

A new “Add [..] to Collection” button under the add queue, that lets you add all scanned albums in one go. No more need to click the little “+” buttons for each entry.

Some other improvements:

At the same time, some other tweaks went live in your software:

In the “fixed” area at the bottom of the Edit Album screen, we replaced the Owner field with the Location field.

Through user feedback we found that the Location field is used by many more users, compared to Owner. Also many new users were not finding the field. So we figured the Location field deserved a more prominent spot in the Edit Album screen.
BTW: the Owner field can now be found on the Personal tab.
The User Rating field has received a make-over and can now be set using a nice sliding star thingie.

Today, a subtle addition to your Book Connect software, but one that can save you a lot of time if you’re always adding your books by ISBN:

A new “Add [..] to Collection” button under the add queue, that lets you add all scanned books in one go. No more need to click the little “+” buttons for each entry.

Yes, it is finally happening! After being a daily feature request for many years, our comic database tools are finally going to deliver comic values, thanks to our new collaboration with the popular GoCollect.com comic book price guide.
And the cloud-based Comic Connect software is the first to get this cool new feature!

New in today’s Comic Connect update:

Get comic values from Core, powered by GoCollect.com
Find out which are the most valuable comics in your collection. Just set a Grade for your comics, then Update Values from GoCollect based on that grade.
Finally, view Value Stats in the updated Statistics screens.
Lots of new editable fields:
