Music Library Software - Keep track of your music library

For anyone wanting to access their CD, Vinyl or even digital file collection quickly, rather than try and remember what they have or where it is, this is a great App. In a few short sessions I catalogued over 500 CDs that were scattered about in various cabinets, racks, bookcases etc... Typically, each just needed a rapid barcode scan, with just a few percent needing a manual edit. Such edits were needed as the barcode related to the wrong CD, mostly just the wrong version and a very few the wrong CD totally, or there was no CD found. In these cases the catalogue number worked for me except for three very obscure CDs that I needed to fully manually add including a cover picture.

I also catalogue SACDs and the, so far, few high resolution digital files I’ve also started to buy. Using the ‘location’ field I don’t need to care much about which cabinet, rack, bookcase etc a specific CD is or which music is on digital files. I just browse as the mood takes me, looking at the art work and track listings using iPad or iPhone and once selected the location tells me how to quickly find it.

CLZ is by far the best of several ‘library’ Apps I’ve paid for over many years. Although some have suggested it’s rather expensive, looking at who’s behind it (collectorz.com) and my experience, the first time the whole process was easy and quick enough to catalogue my whole collections without giving up on the App, I feel it’s well worth it. These folk have been around for a very long time with desktop library applications and, hopefully, will be around a very long time to come and continue to provide great support too. — AdtAdt on CLZ Music

I have been a fan of their PC-based software. Now the mobile app version makes things so easy, and it still packs a whole lot of the full-fledged software version. It is really the best CD or digital music library app out there, in the whole world! — Working Boy on CLZ Music

A great app to organize your music library. Very versatile! — Art Walicki on CLZ Music

The products of Collectorz are an excellent way to catalog your music, movie, comic book collections. I have used Music Collector for years and recently began using Movie Collector and Comic Collector. They are very easy to use and their library contains a huge wealth of information, including pictures of album jackets and comic covers. It is an excellent way to catalog and inventory your collectibles. — Daniel Hoyt (USA) on Music Collector

Easiest way yet to catalog your music library. — Ervin Friedman on CLZ Music

CLZ Music is the right app for you to catalogue all your music library such CDs , vinyls and blu ray discs. Easy to use and above all a really awesome app to have if you are a serious music lover. Enjoy the music and the app. — Jimmy Lim on CLZ Music

Easiest way yet to catalog your music library. — Ervin Friedman on CLZ Music

My partner and I are vinyl collectors. We have cataloged over a thousand titles. I love the flexibility of creating some of your own field headers, and setting some default fields to auto-populate. I do cataloging for a major academic library and this is a great product for personal collections. — Christopher Mixon on CLZ Music

After years of relying on iTunes for my music library (mostly for convenience), I found I missed the tactile aspects of thumbing through albums & CDs and had forgotten how vastly superior they sound to mp3s. With so many old CDs and records in my collection, I wanted a way to catalog them separate from iTunes and came upon this app. I have to say I'm seriously impressed, and that's not easy to do these days with so many crap apps out there. This downloaded quickly and was attractive and simple to figure out, and within minutes I had added 30 CDs - both by scanning UPC codes and adding by artist/album if there wasn't one. Then came the moment of truth, seeing this database on other devices. That too was flawless, I set up a free account, synced my first device to the cloud, then downloaded the app on my next device and synced it. Kaboom, there it was. It even worked on my first generation iPad from 2010 that became our iTunes remote (and now music database). I paid for the app immediately just to say thanks for designing something that works the way you hope it will yet so rarely does. Nice job! — ScottsdaleDoodle on CLZ Music

This is a must have for music collectors. For years I have been using Music Collector desktop software and Music Connect (free) on my phone as a web bookmark which worked ok to view the library but this android app (on samsung 5) is so much more usable. I don't normally buy apps on phones, let alone do reviews. The camera on the phone works well to scan the barcodes and it synched with my existing library with no issues. I like the view and sort by options which was clunky on the phone/web bookmark. And just in case there are any doubters, my non-techie husband was scanning within minutes. One recommendation (out of loyalty to the product) I would like to see a way to add a multi-disc CD as one album like on the desktop version. Thank you, thank you, thank you, — Sharon Kunesh on CLZ Music

I've got a very old version of CLZ and hope to upgrade soon...haven't had money to add to my music collection for many years, but every time I go to public library to borrow some of their cd's I cant help but wish they'd start using your software to keep track of their music/video collections at least...
anyway...your crew looks like a great group of people and I think you've got the very best software in the world for organizing data for collectors...so wanted you to know I'm a big fan of the work you guys do.
I'm still storing music LP's in plastic file/box bins so I can easily flip threw them...and weight doesn't get overwhelming...also...always kinda think...what if there were a fire here...Id want to be able to grab my music and go....not possible if they are all on shelves, ya know? — Ruth Lovinsohn (USA) on Music Collector

So far everything I've scanned comes up, but the 14.99 price is a bit steep, but it's the easiest app I've found so far to keep track of my large cd library. — JustJack2000 on CLZ Music

It took me long to come to the final decision (to build the library for my music in CDs), but when I came to it, I knew that I need serious guide in this world of long searches, hunts and cataloging. I have landed in your page and here I am - the one of your customers. It is almost a year when I am seriously building my collection (with your support) and today would like to share the "new" house for my CDs. It is not much, only 300+, but I am very proud to be in your family.
Thank You! — Mantas Azusienis (Lithuania) on Music Collector

Just wanted to mention that after 4 years of Movie Collector Pro, I went with your generous offer of a new application at half price today, and picked up the MP3/Music organizer.
Wow.
If I had known about this in the detail that I have learned in only a few hours I would have bought this a long time ago. Being very comfortable with Movie Collector, this was a very quick learning curve and I am into it more now than ever. I have accumulated over 300 albums in many years, and had recently converted everyone of them to MP3 and stored them digitally.
Now this software comes into my life and I can sort, and find everything instantly again.
Thank you. If I had a library or collected comics I'd probably go there too, but I don't. Great as always. — Richard Niles (USA) on Music Collector

In June I purchased your Music Collector Pro program which I think is just fantastic. I use it to catalog our ever growing CD collection of now some 4,000 recordings.
This is for the CD library of the New Orleans Musica da Camera, a non-profit performing ensemble of early music which I founded & co-direct. We are now in our 43rd year. — Milton Scheuermann on Music Collector

I just completed adding all my CD albums to my CD Library. I am very pleased with your software. In fact, the more I use the software the better I like the wide scope of possibilities that is available. — Joe Loreti on Music Collector

I love the software---I have over 1000 books in my home library and would never keep them straight without Book Collector---high recommend it! Now I can enjoy the Music Collector and will put it to good use as my CD collection is also growing and getting more difficult to organize.

Thanks again for your prompt attention and for the software! — Brenda Ough on Music Collector

Thought you might like to recieve feedback from a user.
I've been using Music Collector to keep track of my small (125 disc) CD collection in a jukebox. Works perfectly. Really appreciate the ability to produce reports in various sort orders, such as by index or alphabetically.

Amazed at the number of CD's in the library, especially some obscure ones such as 'Aangenaam Klassiek'. Yes, I am Dutch by origin, but moved to Canada about 27 years ago! — Bernard Pon on Music Collector
