Groups

The distinctive feature of the program is that it does not ignore the structure of folders where you store your audiofiles on the disk. If you place something in the ‘Ballads&0146; folder, you may rest assured that files found in that folder will be displayed within that folder and will not be lost anywhere else.

This method of displaying the list of files allows you to save a lot of time which other programs spend on reading all tags in the collection, even if you want to add only a couple of songs.

This method has one disadvantage: if you place files of different artists and from different albums in one folder, it will be difficult to find the needed song.

For that case there is a mode of grouping. To turn it on, you should untick Forbid grouping.

Now the program will read the tags of the files in the selected folder and group them by the fields you specify. Grouping will not be performed in the following cases:

  • unless the number of files in the folder exceeds the value specified in the field Do not group files in the folder if there are less than. Suppose you specified 10 files in this field. In that case grouping will be performed only in those folder where the number of files is more or equal to ten.
  • if there can be only one group formed by the field you specified. For example, you specified grouping by the artist, and there are songs by only one artists in the folder.

You can select the fields for the files to be grouped by using the << and >> buttons. The sequence of fields can be specified using the buttons with arrows Up and Down on them.
