Let's try to get collectorz.com discounts/reviews

[superboyac]

I think the http://www.collectorz.com/ products are high quality and stuff that a lot of people in general would use, maybe we should try to get them to join in here for freebies/discounts?  I know I've promised to do an addressbook review, but I can do a good review for mp3 collector also after that.

actually josh already seems to have contacted them and gotten them to offer a good discount i think
but emailing them again and letting them know it's desired can only help!
stay tuned for details

[Josh]

Yes, Josh has stepped up to the plate. Josh is also working on getting a few more discounts

[Josh]

by the way, everyone email them at their email addresses listed on their site! This will show we are interested!

Thanks for the discount, I'll look into it! 

A few questions:

What about your update policy? Are updates free of charge or do users have to pay every x months/years?

Are you planning to enhance the Movie collector program so I can use it to keep track of my "holiday and friends and stuff" videos too (lots of files burned to DVD+R, so I can only watch them at the PC)? If I understand your homepage correctly it aims on DVDs only now, right?

Do you like and use customer feedback to make the programs even better in the long run?

Do you offer beta versions or do you release new versions (with bugfixes and new features) frequently?

[Collectorz]

@brotherS: you get free updates for life, no extra charges there.
For your home videos I don't get the meaning: do you mean home made videos you want to catalogue or the 'real' movies, burned on a DVD? If you refer to the first one, you might want to take a look at Photo Collector. One of the features on our to do list is to integrate videos into it, since most digital cameras are also used as video cameras. And then it would be nice to have your pictures and the moving ones in one place.
Yes, we do like customer feedback, use the appropriete email addresses for your comments. Looking forward to it :-)
We work with beta versions (for example we're now working on Book Collector on the Mac) and are still working on new features/bug fixes and what not on all our software. We are vivid collectors ourselves, so all wishes we have tend to get in the software.

Thanks for the info, sounds good! 

Maybe you should consider renaming "Movie Collector" to "DVD Collector" then, and "Photo Collector" to "Photo and Movie Files Collector"? Might be more obvious then.
