The Sidebar Browsers
Context
With this tab, view information and statistics about your collection and the current
artist. Switch to different views using the tabs on top of the Context browser. The
Home view provides statistics on your listening habits, listing your favorite, newest,
and least-played tracks or albums. Current provides data related to the track cur-
rently being played, such as the album cover (see
(page 258)) and the listening statistics related to this track. If available, Lyrics dis-
plays the lyrics of the track currently played. You need to be connected to the In-
ternet to use this feature. Artist shows information about the artist. This information
is fetched from Wikipedia, so an Internet connection is needed as well.
Collection
Use this view to manage and display your personal collection of titles. The toolbar
on top of the browser allows you to configure the way your collection is displayed
and to rescan or reorganize the collection. Define the order your titles are displayed
in the browser with Group By. You can choose between predefined criteria or create
your own sort criteria using Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. The next two icons
let you toggle between tree and flat view. Use the update icon to rescan your entire
collection for changes and add or delete folders to scan by clicking the wrench
icon.
If you are searching for a particular album, title, genre, or year, use Filter here.
The selection in the browser is adjusted as you type. You can only search in criteria
used to group the collection. If you have grouped your collection by Artist / Album,
it is not possible to search for titles belonging to a certain genre.
Playlists
You can access different playlists with the playlist browser. Playlists holds your
personal playlists found in your collection folders. Every time you create and save
a new playlist from the playlist window, it appears here. Right-click to open a menu
where you can manually add a new playlist or a subfolder. To add new items from
the playlist window to an existing playlist, just drag and drop them on the playlist
in the browser window.
