Hi,
I would add one thing to Jenny's excellent instructions for using windows
explorer to tag audio files. You can select all of the files in the
folder with control-a and then go into properties and fill in all of the
items that are true for all of the files such as artist, album name and
so on. This means that you don't have to repeat this information for each
file in the folder. You still need to go to the properties of each file
and fill in the unique information like track number and song
title.
I also agree with Jenny that you may want to wait until the release comes
out.

the next release contains a files mode that will, indeed, allow you to access things according to the folder they're contained in. Also, the tagging engine is much improved, so you may want to wait and see how the new release does with your catalog before going through and retagging your files. As far as how to do it though--you have to do it file by file. Highlight the file you want to retag in Windows Explorer and press Alt + Enter to get to the file properties. Then, press Control + Tab to get to the Summary page. If you're in Advanced Mode, you'll get a list of the tagged information which you can edit. If you're in simple Mode, you'll see only the title and will need to tab to the Advanced Button and press the Spacebar to activate it.
Then, simply edit your information, and tag to the OK Button when you're done.

- Subject: [icon-discuss] music player request
- Hi, guys.
- I don?t think the music player can do this, but if not I?d like to request the ability to do the following:
- Each of my albums are in separate folders under music All Beatles albums are in their own folders under Beatles, all Elton John albums under Elton john, in their own folders, etc.
- Right now, I can search by artist and bring up the Beatles. What I want to then do is to have Icon show me all albums by the Beatles.
- I want to select a specific album and play it.
- Right now, It appears it can only show me all beatles songs.
- I suppose I could go through a do a play list for each album, but that would take a lot of work<grin>.
- Thanks.
