Welcome to Jukebox Selecta Documentation |
||
| Start-up | ||
| I hope the first moments will be easy to handle ! | ||
| All the datas are stored in the 'jukebox.db' file, you can give this file to a friend to show him your audio files ! | ||
| Indexation | ||
| Drop a directory, or use the 'Add dir' button. | ||
| When it is finished, hit the 'Refresh' button, the view will be populated with your audio files... | ||
| Searching | ||
| Columns are moveable, you can also drop them away if you don't need them. | ||
| Instant search filters the view with only matching items. The matching fields are gently hilighted. | ||
| You can sort by all columns (there is three states : ascendant sort, descendant sort, no sort). | ||
| While the list is focused, you can type a search string, and then use F3 and SHIFT+F3 to navigate throught results. | ||
| Using the left and right arrows allow to specify the browsed column. | ||
| Selection | ||
| You can select several items by dragging the mouse, or using SHIFT and CTRL keys. | ||
| You can drag the selection to any player (WinAmp, FooBar2000, ...) to add the selection to your player's playlist. | ||
| You can also drag the selection to Explorer in order to copy the files in a directory. | ||
| Use the right-click to see the different possibilities... | ||
| Modification | ||
| You can amend database and retag mp3 files. | ||
| You can refresh a selection with right-click then 'Update selection from titles'. Jukebox Selecta will re-read tags. | ||
| You can modify ID3 tags by right-click then 'Edit ID3 tag...'. | ||
| Since some information as Marker, NbListen are not stored in ID3 tags, only the data base knows this informations. | ||
| You can alter those informations by right-clicking and then : 'Mark as listened now', 'Reset listening informations', 'Edit group...' or 'Marker...' | ||
| Picture view | ||
| You can click on the left-bottom picture zone to create a sizeable window always on top. | ||
| Indexes | ||
| To allow a faster startup you can click the 'SaveIDX' button when all data are indexed (the message is 100% of.... in the left top corner). | ||
| If you experience problem with matching or sorting, then erase the index with the 'DeleteIDX' button. | ||
| S/H Filter | ||
| This button allows to hide or show the left pane. | ||
| ExportView | ||
| Exports the current view in a 'View.txt' file. This file can be imported with the 'ImportView' button. | ||
| iTunes | ||
| = experimental for now = | ||
| Copy your 'iTunes Music Library.xml' in the Jukebox Selecta directory and press this button. | ||
| Listening informations and marker fields will be imported from your iTunes database. | ||
| Filter | ||
| The filter pane allow to browse the data base. | ||
| Playlists | ||
| You can add a custom playlist by double clicking the 'New Playlist...' line. | ||
| A dialog box will appear asking you the playlist name and the associated expression. It can be for example : | ||
| "nbListen>0 or mark>0 or popularity>0" will give all titles that have been marker, listened, or popularitized (ID3 tag) | ||
| "(genre=Rap or genre=hip or genre=hop) and nbListen<=0" will give all non listened titles with a genre matching 'rap', 'hip' or 'hop' | ||
| You can modify or remove a playlist by right-clicking on it. | ||
| Settings | ||
| By clicking the 'Settings' button you can show or hide the settings panel. | ||
| Window Title : sets the window title of this database | ||
| Accepted extensions : a ';' separated list of accepted extensions. Only .mp3 files are parsed for ID3 tag information. | ||
| Columns order : you can use the column name, separated with ',' to store the list layout. | ||
| RootReplace : you can use the syntax XXX=>YYY to replace the beginning of the file path. This can be useful when moving the hard disk drive letter, or translating a database to a network location (C:=>\\HostWithAShare\SharedMusic) | ||
