This dialog allows the song tags to be edited. The Song Library will always be updated with changes made here, and if the Update Song File Tags preference is set in Preferences, then the song file will also be updated. If CEPlaylist does not recognize the structure of the file, it will not update it. At the top of the dialog is the path of the currently selected song. Artist - The Artist drop down list shows all of the currently found artists. To add a new artist, click the Artist button which displays the Add New Artist screen. Album - The Album drop down list shows all of the albums found for the selected artist. To add a new album for this artist, click the Album button which displays the Change Album screen. Genre - The Genre drop down list shows the standard list of genres supported by most MP3, OGG and WMA players, along with any custom Genres found in the song files when the library was built. Title - The Title edit box allows the song's title to be changed. This does not change the name of the file. Track - The Track Up/Down control allows the song's track number to be changed. Acceptable range is 0-32. If the song file did not contain a track tag, then this field will be blank. Delete - The Delete button will delete this song from the list as well as the device. OK - When the OK button is clicked, the Verify Update window is displayed. Cancel - The Cancel button will return to the Song Library without making any changes. |

This window shows the original and proposed data change for the song file. OK - When the OK button is clicked, the Song Library is updated with the new tag data. If the 'Update Song File Tags' option is selected in Preferences then the song file itself will be modified with the new tags. If the original song file does not have enough extra buffer space to contain the changes made to the tags, then a dialog box will be shown saying that the entire file will have to be rewritten. Clicking cancel will stop the changes from being made. If OK is clicked, then buffer space is added to the song file and the edits are applied. This can take quite a long time, as song files are very large. Cancel - The Cancel button will return to the Song Library without making any changes. |
