Tutorial #4 - Handling Digital Audio
Music Label 2008 integrates your digital
music collection with the rest of your music
collection. This makes it possible to, for the
first time, display and search all your music
through one interface. This tutorial guides you
through the process of cataloging, handling and
maintaining your digital music.
Cataloging your Digital
Music
 The
first step you need to take is to let Music
Label catalog all your music for you by
searching your harddrive and possible MP3 CDs.
Music Label has a Wizard that takes you through
this process, you can simply click the
New-button in the toolbar (when you are in the
Music section) to bring up the Add Music Wizard.
When adding digital audio files; you can choose
to have them attached to albums or to scan
assorted files which wont be attached to any
album.
Completing Information
If the tags of the audio file are
incomplete; you can contact CDDB to download
more complete information. All you need to do is
to mark the file (or files) that you want to
complete and then choose 'Update MP3 info using
CDDB' from toolbar Data-page.
Browsing Digital Music
Only
If you want to show only the tracks that
have a digital music file attached, you can
simply choose 'Items with associated files' from
the Find All sub-menu in the toolbar.
Renaming the files
 Files
downloaded from the Internet often have
complicated filenames containing comments and so
forth. You can rename all the files in your
collection by specifying a naming standard
(using 'Rename MP3 Files' from the toolbar
Data-page).
Creating Playlists
You can create and play playlists from your
digital music collection by selecting the
desired tracks and choosing 'Create Playlist
Using All Selected Tracks'. Afterwards, proceed
to the Playlist section to play the playlist in
your favorite media player.
