The collection editor is the central place to organize your album collection. Go to the chapter Collection Editor Menu's to find all menu options explained.

The four areas of the collection editor:

  • The album list. 
  • The custom collections.
  • The lookup status. 
  • The album attributes.

The album list

Every album in your database is available in this list. You can double click to open the album editor. It is possible to do a multiple selection of some albums, right click, and perform actions on the selection, like retrieving album data, splitting albums and merging albums. Merging albums is useful in case of albums containing two CDs or more.

The custom collections

You can create user defined album collections here in a custom order. Albums are shown in the main player window when the grouping criteria is "custom collections".  You can also create these collections directly from the main window using the right click menu option Add Album to Collection.

The lookup process will be started when you in the process of adding albums, or when you selected several albums and used the function Find Album Info.

The album attributes

Here you can immediatly edit album attributes without opening the album editor. You can select multiple tracks and edit an attribute for all selected tracks together. Editing an album in full detail, use the Album editor.
