How long have i had XP? Years….. I have just figured out how to modify my music folder so the contents can be searched by artist, song, genre, date, or whatever criteria I want. There is great satisfaction in having figured this out and I roll my eyes at how long it took me.
Soon we may have one file for our music. Our solution till now has been to duplicate everything and list it differently. Luke is going to have soooo much more room on his drive now.
Once, some time ago, Christina said that this could be done……  I have kept looking for how, off and on, till now. (Could have asked, but it is satisfying to figure it out.).
I’m afraid that while I know such functions are in the OS, I don’t use them very much.
I found that most of my music doesn’t have the metadata filled in that make such organization possible.
Same here… so i am filling in the metadata (so that is what it is called). Is there a way to get to the metadata other then playing the song and clicking on file information?
metadata = data about data. just fyi
right click file -> properties -> Summary -> advanced
and that will let you edit either indivual files or multiples. (individual if you are setting track number, use multiple if you are changing the genre)
But that’s not that much better than editing as you play the songs.
interesting… but it really is easier to just play and change the info there.
Would you like for me to work on your music files when i finish with mine? 🙂
