Tip: use Music Collector together with the CLZ Music mobile app
Our CLZ Music mobile app is a great companion to the Music Collector desktop software, as it lets you take your collection with you on your phone or tablet. And, it has a built-in barcode scanner for easily adding new purchases.
Of course, you can easily sync your collection data between them through our CLZ Cloud.
Screenshots
Browse, sort and search your music collection in various layouts and views
Music Collector's main screen is highly customizable, so that you can make it look the way you want. Choose between:
- Multiple layouts for the main screen folder, list and details panels.
- List, Images or Card View for your album lists.
- Different templates for the album details panel.
- Light, Dark and System skins for all screens.
Easily add CDs and vinyl to your database, by inserting CDs, by Artist and Title or by Barcode
Adding new albums to your personal music inventory is quick and easy. Choose from 3 methods:
- Just insert the CD to have the program scan its' CD-ID, then use the CD-ID to search our central online CD database (for CDs only).
- Enter or scan the CD barcode to search our online CD database by barcode (for CDs only).
- Enter the Artist and Title and select the best match from our online database (great for both vinyl and CDs).
Our Core online music database will then automatically provide
- Full albums details like artist, title, format, label, release date, etc...
- Full track lists, with song titles, artists and track duration info.
- Cover images (front and back).
Organize your music files (MP3, M4A, OGG, WMA, FLAC, etc ...) by scanning your folders
MMusic Collector can also organize your music files. Just let it scan your computer for digital music files, then automatically create new albums in your music database using the information from the file tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, etc...). After that, the audio files can be played right from your album details panel

Music Collector reviews from customers
I have been using it since version 9 but decided to re-catalogue my whole CD collection into the current version rather than import it, as I wanted the time to review (and remember) what I have (many of my CDs go back to the 1980's as you will see!)
During the entry of some of my more obscure titles I used Discogs to get the actual artwork of my actual CD when CLZ did not return an image. I just love the versatile way CLZ works in this regard.
I am constantly singing the praises of CLZ to my friends.
As Bob Pearce said " Keep on Keepin' On!!!"
Two weeks ago, my hard drive crashed. The technician who replaced my hard drive made a mess of my programs and data files.
The Music Collector support pages walked me through recovering my data files and cover images.
I am very happy with the instructions and the ability to recover all my information. I will continue to use and support the Music Collector program.
Thanks again!
Mijn complimenten hiervoor.
Thank you very much for your support.
