Finding tracks and managing track
information
This section explains how to add track information and how to create track
lists by searching for audio tracks.
Track information, called audio tags, can be very useful for finding and
categorizing your audio tracks. Examples of audio tags are song titles, artist
and album names, and music genre. When audio tags are complete and
accurate, Music Disc Creator can automatically create music mixes by
searching for songs with similar properties. You can add track information
manually, or let Music Disc Creator search the online music database to
automatically add it for you.
Chapter 10, Recording and managing audio files, on page 135 also has
information that you can use while creating Music Disc Creator projects:

Checking for unidentified tracks

Use this procedure to search for new tracks on your computer and add
them to your music library.
To scan for and identify new tracks:
1 From the Tools menu, select Check for Unidentified Tracks.
2
Select a location to scan from the drop-down list. For example, you
can choose to scan all of your hard disks, or your My Music folder, or
another folder. Click Start Scan to begin.
You can skip this step if you already have identified tracks in your
music library.
Note Depending on the number of unidentified tracks you have,
the search may take a long time. For example, if you have
thousands of unidentified tracks, the search may take several
hours. However, once tracks are identified, the information is
saved and you will not have to repeat this process.
