A big step forward for the CLZ Music app today, in which we add more new editable fields:
- Recording Date
- Studios
- Live (yes/no)
- Extras
- Conductors
- Orchestras
Of course, all the new fields sync to/from the CLZ Cloud too.
Wait what? Track searching in Music Connect? Yes, it is finally here!
For many years, the most requested missing feature for Music Connect and CLZ Cloud has been the ability to search for track titles and track artists. The main reason for the lack of a track search has always been performance. Searching a cloud database with over 500 million (!!) songs is not an easy task 🙁
However, a few months ago we finally decided to start on this huge and challenging project.
And I am happy to announce that we found a solution that works! We have created a humongous new search index for the music cloud data, that now includes track titles and track artists. A new flexible search engine is now available behind your familiar search box that lets you search album details, track details or both.
As of today, the new search engine is live in your account, and it is FAST!
Choose between 3 Search Types
Use the new “search type” selector on the left of the search box to choose to search:
- Albums
- Tracks
- or both: Albums & Tracks
Track highlighting
After searching for tracks, click one of the resulting albums and the track that match will be highlighted in your album details panel.

As you probably know, macOS Catalina (version 10.15) was released earlier this week.
In Catalina, Apple has made two major changes, that will affect all software that you run on your Mac:
- All programs you use need to be 64-bit. No more support for 32-bit applications!
- All programs you download outside the App Store need to be notarized (=approved) by Apple.
Of course, our Music Collector software has been a 64-bit application since version 18.1 (April 2018). And this week, we got it approved and notarized by Apple too!
So today, we released Music Collector 19.1, 64-bit and notarized, so fully Catalina compatible!
