v4.10: Many new sort options and a redesigned Select Sort Order screen
We’ve added new fields to sort on to change the order in which your albums are displayed in your list. Your album list will adapt to sort and show the field you’re sorting on. On top of that we’ve redesigned the Select Sort Order screen to make it more clear what you’re choosing.
Open the Select Sort Order screen by tapping the menu top right, then tap “Sort order”.
All available sort fields:
- Artist, then Year
- Artist, then Title
- Album Title
- Release Date
- Nr. of Tracks (New!)
- Length (New!)
- Order of Entry (New!)
- My Rating (New!)
- Purchase Date (New!)
- Purchase Price (New!)
- Current Value (New!)
- Quantity (New!)
- Index
All fields can be sorted either ascending or descending. Tap the field you wish to sort on, then tap “Apply” to confirm.
What’s new in the Add Albums screen?
- Single Search Box: Just one box for search (e.g. like Google or Amazon). No more separate Artist and Title boxes. Just enter (part of) the artist’s name and (part of) the title and you will get the best matching results. (see the screen shot below with “metallica justice” results”)

Our web-team has been working on this for a long time, but it is now LIVE: a new search engine for Artist/Title searches in our Core online music database and Discogs. An engine that is both better and much, much faster!
And the good news is: these are all “server-side” changes, which means you don’t need to update your Music Collector software, CLZ Music app or Music Connect web-app. Everyone can now instantly enjoy the benefits, no matter which version of the software you have :-).
Fixed:
- Secondary artist could not be found in the quick search.
- Album cover thumbnail dimensions were wrong in the search-as-you-type popup
- App shortcut not working in the Android launcher.
You may need to re-add your app shortcut to your launcher screen by tapping/holding the app in your list of apps!
