Creating track lists using Search by Tags

Music Disc Creator's "Search by Tags" feature automatically generates track
lists for your projects. For example, you might use Search by Tags to create a
track list that includes files of a particular genre or by a particular artist.
Creating track lists using Search by Tags:
1 Choose Tools > Search by Tags.
2 For Tag, choose the type of tag you want to search for (for example,
track name or artist name).
3 For Condition, choose how you want to search for the tag (for
example, choose Equals or Contains).
4 For Value, enter the values of the criteria the search is based on (for
example, if you selected "Genre" as a search criterion, you could select
"Jazz" as the value).
5
To add another rule, click the plus sign.
6 Optional: For Limit track list to, enter the maximum number of
tracks, minutes, or megabytes to include in the track list (for example,
25 tracks, 45 minutes, 20 megabytes).
7 Optional: To add the files to the project in random order, select
Shuffle result set.

Note This feature creates track lists by searching your Roxio
database of media files. If a track on your computer is not found,
then it is not in the database. You can add tagged tracks to the
Roxio database by checking for unidentified files or by editing the
track information. For more information, see Checking for
unidentified tracks on page 178, or Editing audio tags with the
Audio Tag Editor on page 144.
