" Indeed, for new customers the desktop software has become actual subscription software (on Feb 12, 2019) and since then “Update Plans” are called “subscriptions”. My guess is that they went this way to generate enough revenue for continued development. Here is part of an email I received today that describes that new Subscription model. I have been using their software since 2002 and I highly recommend it. If you also want to catalog Movies, then they offer a small price break when you purchase both Music and Movie collector at the same time. They are also working constantly to improve their product. These guys are based in Germany and have provided quick response and excellent support the few times I have needed it. I have over 2200 CDs cataloged (and counting) and by having the App on my phone, I can easily check to see if I already have a CD when shopping, so that I don’t buy duplicates. I haven’t tried cataloging LPs yet, so I don’t know how easy that is.īy uploading your database to their cloud storage, you can keep your Mac and iPhone database in sync. If you want, you can now have separate databases for CDs and LPs. This App resides in the cloud, so you would need an internet connection to use it as opposed to having it installed locally on your computer.Įven though you may not need the advanced features, it is really quick and easy to add CDs to your database, especially if you have a bar code scanner (not included), which I highly recommend. Only their Music Connect program says that you always need an Active subscription, and it allows use on multiple computers and mobile devices. That’s what I do for the PC version and the Android app, but I was grandfathered in on a Lifetime license. You can check with them, but I think that you can purchase for a one time fee and then let your support for updates lapse, so that you would only need to purchase an update contract when they come out with a new feature that you want. The CLZ Music app is the same company as the Collectorz program on a Mac.
