### 5/5 — CLZ music library

*2026-08-27, version 11.0.8*

real easy-quite impressed, great precatalogged list to speed up entries. Try it-you will like it.

### 5/5 — It Does Everything I Need

*2026-08-22, version 11.0.8*

The best music collection app I have reviewed.  I have 7" &  12" vinyl, audio cassettes, CDs & mp3's and it does the lot.  Ok, its not free, but the for the small yearly fee its worth every penny.  Having the mobile version too helps when on the go... especially when in music fairs or music shops and you don't want to buy duplications.
Also, I have had a few queries which the support team were quick to respond to.  Excellent App, Excellent Service.

### 5/5 — Flexible

*2026-08-07, version 11.0.6*

Been previously using Discogs but not flexible enough for my needs. 
This comes with the fields I need (Original Release Date) & can add any further fields that I need.
Highly recommended

### 5/5 — A nearly perfect app

*2026-07-22, version 11.0.5*

I’ve been a long time user of CLZ Music and the app just keeps getting better and better. The latest update has added the ability to create custom data fields which IMHO nudges the app towards perfection.

It’s so easy to add new items to the database - just scan the barcode or type in the catalogue number. On the very rare occasion that either of those two methods don’t return any results, it’s super easy to add a manual entry.

The app happily handles my 2000+ CD and vinyl collection and seamlessly syncs between iPhone and iPad, and all of the data is backed up to the cloud for safekeeping.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2026-07-17, version 11.0.3*

This app is perfect for all of our needs. We have an abundance of cassette tapes, cds, and vinyl and are always hunting at thrift stores for more. We no longer buy doubles because we can track what we already have.

The layout is easy to use and navigate. The feature where we can scan barcodes makes logging everything a lot easier. Also, I love that you can see eBay sold comps and add your own custom fields to your media. I have added toggles for sealed, BMG, disc only, and missing art insert.

And the customer service is outstanding! If you ever need anything, you receive a nearly immediate response!

I highly recommend this app for all music collectors!!!!

### 4/5 — Recensie

*2026-07-01, version 10.3.4*

Ik gebruik al geruime tijd deze app om mijn collectie up to date te houden. Zelf had ik destijds een aantal bijkomende, voor mij nuttige info toegevoegd in het veld ‘notities’. Dat je nu eigen velden kunt aanmaken is een mooie en interessante aanvulling. En zo blijft deze app voor verrassingen zorgen. Je kiest zelf maar wat voor jou werkt. De mensen bij CLZ Music luisteren naar de gebruikers en proberen aan hun wensen tegemoet te komen. Een dikke pluim voor het team dat blijft timmeren aan de weg van een gebruiksvriendelijke app.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2026-06-27, version 10.3.4*

I have a very large music collection. I find this app essential for when I am hunting for more cds and vinyl. It makes sure that I do not buy a duplicate. The app is very easy to use and well worth the subscription.

### 5/5 — My go to app for managing my music collection

*2026-06-26, version 10.3.4*

I’ve been using CLZ for several years now to manage my vinyl and CD collection. The easy to use interface allows me to me navigate through titles and prompts me to listen to those gems that I forgot I had. It’s also a great tool to keep track of the value of my collection. The regular notification feature updates via email is refreshing and easy to understand. Love this app and its ever growing features.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-06-25, version 10.3.4*

This software is incredible, been using it for years now.  No other comes close. Thank you. Gary

### 1/5 — ADDING ALBUM COVER

*2026-06-11, version 10.3.4*

Used to be easy to add album cover.   Now cannot figure out how to add a photo.  Cannot just simply download a photo to folder then add to album.
