Long time customer Matthew started with the (now legacy) Music Collector software back in 2016, and switched to the CLZ Music Web web-based software in 2023. He is loving the web-based interface and wrote this nice review:
I’ve been using CLZ for years, and I honestly can’t imagine managing my collection without it. The software is beautifully designed, easy to use, and incredibly powerful. Adding new items takes seconds, syncing across my devices works flawlessly, and the customization options let me organize everything precisely the way I want.

Save Now #1.Armed with the extraordinary ability to “save” any moment in his life and then go back and relive from that point forward again, world-famous superhero SAVER can rewrite his past, altering his actions time and time again until he gets things right. But with great power, also comes great pain. Cursed with only being able to travel backwards, never forwards, he is burdened by having to spend his relived life in agonizing real time. Travel back 6 days, and he must relive those days in full, aging all the while. After catching a glimpse at the impending apocalypse, Saver dedicates himself to averting global catastrophe, no matter the cost. But no matter how many times or how far back he goes, he can’t find a way to steer the world clear of armageddon. With no hope for the future, Saver retreats to live in the past, reliving the best year of his life in an endless self-indulgent loop. But when he learns he’s going to be a father, everything changes. He’s no longer trying to save the world. He’s fighting to save his daughter’s future.
Unbreakable X-Men #1X years later and the Uncanny X-Men have been shattered by loss and tragedy and scattered to different locations around the world. At Haven House, only three remain — wounded, grieving and guarding the portal to the terrifying PENUMBRA. Can they stop the thundering darkness that has lurked below the surface for centuries, screaming to break free? Or will they fail and watch a vengeful god bring an army of tormented souls to the surface, crying for mutant blood?

CLZ Alwin here, with the CLZ News for September 2025. I know, I am one day late. Yesterday was a bit too hectic with the big CLZ Movies releases, so I had to postpone the newsletter, sorry!
But yes, that immediately brings us to THE big news for September: the long awaited updates for CLZ Movies, but web and mobile, are finally live!
For Web, just log in to enjoy the new features, for the mobile app, update your app to version 10.0.
More Web news: a new feature had been added for all CLZ Web flavors, a new “Transfer Field Data” tool, which you can use for copying or moving data between fields.
And… at the end of this newsletter, I am doing a “What’s Cooking?” section again, that is, a quick summary of everything that is in progress at this very moment.

- Editable episode lists for TV Series
- Watch history: track multiple watch dates for your movies
- Add your own YouTube trailer links
- Extra fields for Box Sets: Purchase Price/Date/Store and Notes
