<para>When you are viewing the Collection List, the main pane contains

<para>Each song takes one row in the display. There is a column for

|

|
|
the fields available to edit in the tag editor.</para>
|
||
|
|
|

<para>You can reorder the list at any time by &LMB; clicking on the

|
column header. This will first sort the files in ascending order

based on the contents of that column. If you &LMB; click again on the
|
||
|
|
same header, the files will be re-sorted in descending order.</para>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>The columns are initially sized wide enough to show the longest
|

entry available. You can resize the columns by placing your mouse
|
||
|
|
cursor on the divider between two columns. When the cursor changes
|

from a pointer, &LMB; click and drag in the direction you want to

resize the columns.</para>
|
||
|
|
|

<para>You can reorder the columns by &LMB; clicking on a header and
|
||
|
|
dragging the header to the left or right. You cannot drag past the

|
edge of the window when doing this however, so you may need to scroll
|
||
|
|
a little to the left or right, and repeat dragging the header, until

you have placed it in your preferred position.</para>

<listitem>
|

|
|
<para>This mode is the most powerful. This mode is just like the Compact viewmode, except that the Collection List is now the root of a tree of virtual
|
||
|
|
playlists. The Collection List has three children nodes, Artist, Album, and Genre. Each of these node has children representing all of the entries
|
||
|
|
from that specific category. For example, if your Collection List contains music from 4 different artists, you would have 4 entries under the artist
|
||
|
|
node.</para>
|
||
|
|
<para>One nifty feature of the tree view mode is something called drag-and-drop retagging. Simply select some files in the track list, and drag them
|
||
|
|
onto one of the artist, album, or genre nodes under Collection List. The songs will automatically be retagged to match the item you dropped the
|
||
|
|
tracks on. For example, if you drag a group of tracks onto a Genre called "Rock", all of the tracks will be retagged will a Genre tag of Rock.

<para>For many file formats, it is practical to use the filename to
|
||
|
|
describe the contents of the file: <quote><filename>Report for the
|
||
|
|
board - June 2003.doc</filename></quote> for example, may be all the
|
||
|
|
information you need in order to find that file again. Trying to
|
||
|
|
capture all the useful information about a particular song however,
|
||
|
|
could lead to filenames like this: <quote><filename>Type O Negative -
|
||
|
|
The Glorious Liberation Of The Peoples Technocratic Republic Of
|
||
|
|
Vinnland By The Combined Forces Of The United Territories Of
|
||
|
|
Europa.mp3</filename></quote> or <quote><filename>Various
|
||
|
|
Artists_15_The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz Volume II_Jimmie
|
||
|
|
Lunceford & His Orchestra - Organ Grinder's
|
||
|
|
Swing.mp3</filename></quote>. These are neither very practical to
|
||
|
|
use, nor do they contain all of the useful information that you might
|
||
|
|
have collected about the song. Adding the album, and track number,
|
||
|
|
for example, to the first would make it even longer and more
|
||
|
|
unmanageable, while still not telling you at a glance the year it was
|
||
|
|
released, or what style of music it is, if you're not familiar with
|
||
|
|
the artist.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>The solution then, is to store this kind of metadata inside the
|
||
|
|
files themselves. Mp3 and ogg files can also contain small snippets of
|
||
|
|
text which you can use to describe the content of the file. There are
|
||
|
|
several formats, but &juk; hides the details of the differences
|
||
|
|
between them, and provides a standard way to edit a standard subset of
|
||
|
|
well known tags for all your audio files.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>&juk;'s full featured tag editor allows you to edit the tags in
|
||
|
|
both mp3 and ogg files. You can edit single files or multiple files,
|
||
|
|
and you can select a mix of mp3 and ogg files to edit. The only
|
||
|
|
requirement is that you have write access to the files themselves; you
|
||
|
|
cannot edit the tags of a file that is mounted from a &CD-ROM; for
|
||
|
|
example.</para>

first by selecting the scheme in the list box and then using the arrow buttons to move it to the

<para>At the top of the dialog, you can type in the name of your search playlist. Then, you

|

</para>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<para>The top of the <guilabel>Search Criteria</guilabel> group has two radio buttons,

<guilabel>Match any of the following</guilabel> and <guilabel>Match all of the
|
||
|
|
following</guilabel>. If you select <guilabel>Match any of the following</guilabel>, then
|
||
|
|
a match by any of the conditions you define will include the song in the playlist. Otherwise,

every condition you define must match in order to include the song in the playlist.

<para>Below the radio buttons are the condition definitions. You can add more conditions

matching style list on the right, and the search text in the middle. The tag chooser
|

lets &juk; know what tag you want to search for the text in. If you choose the special
|
||
|
|
tag "<All Visible>", then any tag that you can see in the Collection List listing
|
||
|
|
is fair game to match the search text.

<para>The match style list lets &juk; know which search method to use.

<term>Normal Matching</term>

<para>&juk; 2.3 (part of &kde; 3.5) includes improved cover management code which introduces some new possibilities for users compared with &juk; 2.2 (which was shipped with &kde; 3.4). It also can change the workflow slightly for you if you are used to the way covers were handled in &juk; 2.2. So first, let's review how things used to be.</para>

<title>How Covers Worked in &juk; 2.2</title>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>In &juk; 2.2, the cover for a track was strictly tied to its <guilabel>Artist</guilabel> and <guilabel>Album</guilabel> information. Although this proved useful enough, and had a few advantages, it wasn't a great way to organize the covers. If you wanted to use a cover for a different track, you either had to rename the tags in the track, or you had to duplicate the cover, wasting hard disk space. And if your track had no <guilabel>Artist</guilabel> or <guilabel>Album</guilabel> information, &juk; would prevent you from setting a cover since it had no information to go by. It worked, but it could be better.</para>

<title>How Covers work in &juk; 2.3</title>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>In &juk; 2.3, the code was redesigned to add a core component responsible for dealing with cover art. Instead of looking on disk for a picture file with a specific name like &juk; 2.2, the Cover Manager in &juk; 2.3 associates every cover with an identification tag, and then uses the tag with your music. It's still not perfect, but it works, and it can save you time while allowing you to do more.</para>

<title>Examples of adding covers</title>
|

|

|
|
<para>So just as an example, let's say you wanted to set a cover for tracks you just ripped off of your &CD;. We'll use <quote>Alabama - Greatest Hits III</quote> for the sake of discussion. In &juk; 2.2, you could simply select any one of those tracks, and import a cover from the Internet by right-clicking on that track, and using the <menuchoice><guimenu>Tagger</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Cover Manager</guisubmenu> <guimenuitem>Get Cover From Internet</guimenuitem></menuchoice> command. As a side effect of the way &juk; worked, the cover would then be immediately applied to <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the <quote>Alabama - Greatest Hits III</quote> tracks, <emphasis>whether you wanted that or not</emphasis></para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>In &juk; 2.3, the procedure is exactly the same, with one exception: You should select all of the tracks you want to apply the cover to first. So you would select all the <quote>Alabama - Greatest Hits III</quote> tracks before using the <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Get Cover From Internet</guimenuitem></menuchoice> command. Or if you only wanted to set cover art to half of the tracks for some reason, you'd only select half the tracks before running the <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Get Cover From Internet</guimenuitem></menuchoice> command. Don't worry about duplicating covers, either: &juk; is smart enough to re-use the same image, so you won't get 14 duplicate <literal role="extension">.png</literal> images cluttering your hard drive.</para>

<title>Reusing Old Covers</title>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>But what happens if you forgot to select all the tracks you wanted to tag? You could select them and repeat the process, but that would leave a duplicate cover on your hard drive because &juk; cannot quickly tell that the cover you've found is the same as one you already have. But that's alright, because you can tell &juk; to use the cover from another track.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>There are two ways of doing this:</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>1. Open the <guilabel>Cover Manager</guilabel> dialog using the <guimenu>Tagger</guimenu> menu (<menuchoice><guimenu>Tagger Cover</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Manager</guisubmenu> <guimenuitem>Show Cover Manager</guimenuitem></menuchoice>). The Cover Manager will display a list of all the covers &juk; knows about on the right, and after they have loaded you can quickly pare the list down using the search line at the top, or by using the list of Artists on the left. Once you see the cover you want to use, you can drag-and-drop the cover onto a track to apply it. It should happen nearly instantaneously since &juk; is reusing the same cover (and you'll see the cover while you're dragging it as well). Unfortunately, it can take awhile to load the covers in the first place, and the Cover Manager isn't really useful for much else besides.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>2. I prefer to use this method because it's rather easy. All you do is double-click on the track that has the cover you want, in order to start it playing. This will cause its cover to show up in the <interface>Now Playing bar</interface>, and you can drag-and-drop the cover to the track you want to change exactly as you would for the Cover Manager.</para>

<para>You may be wondering what &juk; will do if you already have covers from &juk; 2.2. What happens is that &juk; will automatically convert the old covers and merge them into the cover management system.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Because this is a time consuming process, it does not happen all at once. Instead, the old cover is only converted when the cover needs to be shown on screen. As the conversion process is happening, &juk; will recognize what tracks would have shown the cover being converted, and will automatically apply the new cover to those tracks. The end result is that there should be no visible changes: &juk; will keep the same cover on your tracks that they've always had, except that now you can immediately take advantage of the new cover management features.</para>

<para>1. You can now apply the same cover to tracks with Albums that have <quote>Disc 1</quote>, <quote>Disc 2</quote>, etc, which you couldn't do in &juk; 2.2 without duplicating the cover.</para>

<para>

|

2. Applying a generic cover to tracks if you simply must have a cover on every track, or if you have music that wasn't released as an album but fits a genre well. You could make yourself a cover for that type of music and apply it to the songs in question.</para>

<para>The search bar allows you to quickly search for a song in the

collection list or a playlist.</para>

<para>Simply typing text into the search bar will reduce the visible

list of songs to those which contain that text in any visible

column. Pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> will start playing the top match in the playlist view.</para>

<para>Searching begins instantly when text is entered into the search
|

|
field. Searching is incremental, that is, as you type each character
|
||
|
|
into the text field, the search is narrowed further. This is useful
|
||
|
|
to find a song where you only remember part of a name, for
|
||
|
|
instance.</para>
|

|
|
|

<para>If you would like to make a more fine-grained search, you can click
|
||
|
|
the Advanced Search button to the right of the search bar, which will allow
|
||
|
|
you to create a virtual playlist. If you would like to cancel the search,
|
||
|

you can simply click on the Clear button to the left of the search bar.</para>
