Automatic eBay search links

Jul 08, 2025

New in your CLZ Music Web software today:

In the album details panel, to the right of the cover image, it now includes an automatically generated eBay search link, that lets you find eBay listings for that particular album.

This is a new feature we know many users will find useful, others may go “meh” and a small group of users may absolutely hate it 🙂
That is why this feature is optional. You can switch it OFF using the Settings screen.

Automatic eBay search links

These eBay links can be useful for two reasons:

  • For the albums you own: easily get a feel for a album’s value, by finding its’ Completed/Sold listings on eBay.
  • For the albums on your wish list: easily find available copies on eBay, for you to purchase.

Please note: the eBay links include our CLZ Partner ID, which means that we may earn a commission on any purchase you make after clicking the link.

Three weeks ago, we did a huge “more compact design” update. Today, we are continuing with another update that improves the design, layout and performance of your album details panel.

Here’s what has changed:

  • Flexible layout: the layout now fully adapts to the width of your details panel.
  • Fields moved: we moved some fields around, to make sure the most important fields are at the top.
  • Faster loading: the details panel now loads much faster, as it now delays the loading of the backdrop.

Our web-based software has been around since 2009, first called “Connect”, but renamed in Oct 2024 to simply “CLZ Web”. The Web software is currently the most popular solution for use on your computer, far exceeding the number of users of the legacy “Collector” desktop software.

However, through the years, there is one particular piece of feedback we kept receiving from both new users *and* from users who switched from the desktop software, but phrased in different ways:

“It is all so BIG!” or “I can’t fit a lot of items on my screen”

And they’re right. CLZ Web has been designed to be “big and bold”, as is common with web-based software. Large fonts, big buttons, etc… It looks nice, but the side effect can be that you can fit less collectibles in your on-screen list. Especially when:

  • Using a low-res laptop screen
  • Using a tablet device
  • Using several layers of toolbars in your browser

To resolve this, we were initially planning to introduce an optional “Compact View” or “Compact Skin”.
But when we starting working on that, we liked the results so much that we decided to make it THE new look of CLZ Web for everyone. It looks so much better, more compact, more items on screen. But never too small to read.

Here’s what we did:

  • New font style to fit the new CLZ styling
  • Slightly smaller fonts everywhere
  • In the main screen, we combined toolbars and made them “lower” overall
  • Lower list rows in List View, by slightly reducing the spacing
  • Reduced the height and width of all input boxes in the Edit screens
  • Reduced the height of the screen titles of all popup screen
  • Reduced the height of the collection tabs at the bottom

This new compact look is going live for CLZ Web within a few weeks. But today, I can share more sneak preview screenshots of the most important screens, with a nice BEFORE (left) and AFTER (right) comparison. Enjoy!

v9.5.2: Edge-to-edge support and bug fixes

Feb 03, 2025

New: “edge-to-edge” support for Android 15. This means that all screens will now use the entire vertical space. This gives you more screen real estate to (for instance) view more of your album list in your main screen!

  • Side menu: Refreshed background colors at the top
  • Details panel: Updated placeholder cover for albums without a cover

v9.5.2: Maintenance build

Jan 29, 2025

Fixed:

  • Tablet: Barcode scanning didn’t work while in landscape orientation
  • Switching between folders would not always refresh the list correctly
  • Adding albums by barcode: on some devices the barcode queue didn’t appear
  • Side menu: Refreshed background colors at the top
  • Details panel: Updated placeholder cover for items without a cover


Today we bring you a nice improvement for Adding Albums by Barcode.

Sometimes, when you scan the barcode of a multi-disc album, you only find the discs listed separately in the results. Annoying, because you of course want one album entry, with multiple discs. And now you can!

You can now checkbox the found discs to combine them int a multi-disc album! You can do so by clicking on the little < dropdown icon to "show all the found discs", and checkbox the discs you wish to include in your multi-disc album: Read more

v9.5: Better barcode scanning

Jan 08, 2025

Adding albums by scanning barcodes is THE most important feature of the app, so we will never stop trying to make the barcode scanner better and better 🙂

In today’s 9.5 update, we bring three improvements to the barcode scanner:

  1. Now reads barcodes much faster and in the entire camera screen!
  2. New scanning feedback shows where it “sees” a barcode
  3. New Type Barcode tab for manual barcode entry and support for external USB/BT scanners

We improved the Add Albums screen to make it more compact, better looking and a bit snappier to use.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Search results now show the number of discs
  • The Preview panel on the right has been replaced with a nice and quick “Confirm” popup, that just slides in from the bottom.
  • Improved process of combining discs into a multi-disc album

  2. Search “CLZ” and select your CLZ app.
  3. Tap “Update” to update the app.

Two weeks ago, on Oct 7, we changed our company name to CLZ and moved our website to clz.com.
On top of that, we also renamed our “Connect” web-based editions to CLZ Web. So:

  • Movie Connect became CLZ Movies Web
  • Comic Connect became CLZ Comics Web
  • Game Connect became CLZ Games Web
  • Book Connect became CLZ Book Web
  • Music Connect became CLZ Music Web

Today, we implemented the next step and also moved the CLZ Web editions to their new home at app.clz.com. (previously “connect.collectorz.com” )
At the same time, the CLZ Cloud site moved from cloud.collectorz.com to cloud.clz.com.

Big changes this week, as we have changed our company name!
We were previously called “Collectorz.com”, but as everyone called us “CLZ”, we figured, let’s go with the flow and officially rename the company to just “CLZ”!

But that’s not all. This week also brings:

  • a new company logo and styling
  • a completely new website at clz.com (previously www.collectorz.com)
  • new names for our web-based software, previously called Connect, now simply CLZ Comics Web, CLZ Movies Web, CLZ Games Web, etc…

v9.2: “Free 7-day trial” is back

Jul 26, 2024

The app now has a “free 7-day trial” again.
No more 100 item “free mode” or “free trial”. We did our best to make it work, but it just didn’t. So we’re back to the old tried and tested “7-day trial” system 🙂
(Don’t worry, if you already started your free mode, it will keep working.)
