Reviews from customers
Thank you for providing such good products at reasonable prices!
I don't like your software, I LOVE your software. That also includes how you provide updates, changes, improvements. I use a lot of paid software but I truly believe your business model is the best I've come across. Not one single problem in all the years of using these products. So, please don't stop doing what you're doing and how you're doing it. I have over 4,000 albums in Music, almost the same number in movies (more if you include all the TV shows) and hundreds of books. They all work the same as they did when new, not slowing down one little bit.
Thank you for continuing to make and support such great products.
I've been searching for years in finding softwares like your creations around the world. Since I found the Collectorz softwares I realized at once that Collectorz was just the thing I've been searching for. Your softwares is the only accepted alternative for me! Many thanks!
Ya-hoo!! I'm back in business with adding movies, records/CDs, and books to my collectionz.
Once more...you guys ROCK!!
Thanks to you everything with my three web-based softwares now is working fully completely! I have followed your instructions and everything is just bright and sunny!
I just love the Collectorz softwares and they will be priceless for me according to my cataloguing of my large music collection (1930s and 1940s music) as well as my collections of movies and books.
You really made my day!
Latest Collectorz.com news
Last week, we added many new fields to the CLZ Cloud storage and the web-based Music Connect software, all based on feedback from our users.
Of course, new fields in the CLZ Cloud won’t help you much if you can’t sync them from Music Collector 🙂 So in today’s v21.2 update, we enhanced the CLZ Cloud syncing system to support all the new fields.

After a few months of hard work by web-developer Stijn and UI designer / tester AJ, we can finally release this major upgrade of the Music Connect software, with many new fields and features:
Discs and Tracks
Group your tracks under “Headers”
It is now possible to add “Headers” to your track lists, which is a new way to group tracks. This was requested by many vinyl collectors (for grouping track under “Side A” and “Side B” headers), and also by classical music lovers, for indicating compositions.
On the Tracks tab of the Edit Album screen, use the Add Header button at the bottom to add a header. Then either drag existing tracks to move them “under” the header, or use the “Add Track” button in the header bar to add new tracks under that header.
Storage fields per disc
At the same, we added two new fields for the Disc entries: Storage Device and Slot. Super useful if you want to track the location of each disc of multidisc albums, e.g. for carousel devices or sleeves in binders.
People tab: Credits and Musicians
Completely new for Music Connect, the People tab, for listing album credits and musicians.
Credits
On the left, list the credits for the album:
- Songwriters
- Producers
- Engineers
Musicians
On the right, list the musicians / band members, including the instruments they play.
TIP: you can set the instrument in the Musician entry itself, so that each time you use this Musician under an album, it will auto-fill the instrument field.
Classical
New Classical tab, with the existing Composer, Conductor and Orchestra fields and two new fields:
- Composition
- Chorus
Box Sets
Box Sets are a new way to group albums, a new solution to catalog big boxes containing multiple albums (each album in their own jewel case with their own cover).
To group albums into a Box Set, just add the albums as separate entries in your database, then for all albums, set their Box Set field to the same value.
Tip: Edit the Box Set entry using the pencil icon to set the Name, Sort Name, Barcode, Release Date and Front and Back Cover images!
BTW: Music Connect already supported multi-disc albums, which is still the best way to to catalog albums with multiple discs.
Other fields
Finally, two other fields that were still missing, compared to our legacy Music Collector desktop software:
- Subtitle
- SPARS code, indicating analog vs digital for recording, mixing and mastering of CDs, e.g. AAD, ADD, DAD and DDD.
It is important to have your local comic entries linked to the corresponding entries in our Core online comic database, especially when syncing to the CLZ Cloud and/or the CLZ Comics mobile app. Because a correct Core link is what gives you all automatic comic details, like cover images, values, creators, characters, plots, etc..
All comic entries you added through the Add Comics from Core screen, will of course be linked with a Core entry automatically. However, if you added a comic manually, or if you imported a list of comics, e.g. from a CSV file, some of your entries may arrive “unlinked”. In which case you would need to do the linking afterwards.
Previously, linking comics with Core was done in an old and clunky screen, based on a very old version of the Add Comics from Core screen. But not anymore!
As of today, Comic Collector has a completely new Link Comics with Core screen.

Instead of adding more new features, we decided to take a few weeks to work on the look and feel of the app.
In this 6.6 update, we improved the look and layout of the issue list and of the comic details pages, in both the main screen and the Add screen preview.
On top of that, we finally acted upon a common request from our users: you can now change the size of the thumbnails in the Images View.
