Populating the main viewer is simply a matter of dragging a top-level folder or file/s from any "Explorer" (folder) window, loading an M3U playlist or entering/browsing a folder at the top of the screen.

Load Folder / Folder Tree View
Using the Configuration, you can define a series of preset "favourite" folders for instant recall, or, you can click the "..." button to display the Folder Tree View which allows you to navigate folders/drives and find a directory to load into MyLibrary.  Clicking the "..." button will toggle the Tree View on/off.  Double-clicking a folder will load it into MyLibrary.

Viewer
This is the main list view that shows the audio tracks - it has a number of columns which relate to various meta-data fields, eg: Artist, Title, Year, Duration, Style, ISRC, FileName, Cue Points and so on...  Columns can be re-sized and re-arranged to suit your preference.

How to Populate the List:

• Type a folder location into the textbox and click "Load Folder"
• Click the ... button to invoke the file-browser "tree", navigate to and double-click the folder you wish to load
• Open and M3U/Text file of contents
• Drag and drop audio files into the window
• Drag a single folder into the window - this can either clear the existing contents or append to build a large list of different folders 

When you load a folder, M3U file or drag 'n' drop from Windows, the information will be read according to the Read settings in the Config - JMD stores everything - and is preferred.  This allows you to easily match-up duplicate filenames to identify duplicate files (useful if you are importing lots of compilation albums where overlaps are possible).

IMPORTANT! Any changes made to tracks using the Mass Changer are NOT saved, unless the Database is enabled, until you Export to your chosen file/tag format - This can be useful if you wish to make a temporary change (such as a re-numbering of Carts for a 2nd station) but wish to retain your own settings.

Durations are 0 on new items (unless you set the "Get Durations" option in the Configuration ) until you set a Segue point - this is to easily show which audio files have been "processed" by you.

See the Library Actions section for details on what you can do with a list of tracks.

The Playout Export... menu allows for quick-access to the professional playout system exports but is also available via a right-click.

Database Search
You can select the column/field to search in plus include/exclude items without a Cart Number.  The text search is not case-sensitive and is a "contains" than than "exact match" search.  So if you type CLA then results will include CLASH, CLASSICAL etc.  If you select ReleaseYear and search for 201 then all tracks 2010-2019 will be found.

When you select either Album or MediaRef from the dropdown box, the Style Tree reverts to a list and loads all Albums/MediaRef entries in your Database allowing you to quickly see what titles you have - clicking an entry will list all matching results. Selecting "Station" will populate the list with those defined in the Configuration .

The QuickFind is an additional window that allows you to perform additional searches (and selecting results based on a Cart range) for adding into the main list view, such as building a list of items to work on.

Preview Player
Plays the currently selected item from the list (or QuickFind window)- you can also jump to Intro 1/2/3, Hook and Segue points plus End Mon (end-of-file recap).

The progress bar can be dragged to a particular point in the track while holding down the left mouse button.
Clicking the Seek buttons while holding CTRL will double the increment value.

Style Tree - Filtering by ItemType and Style
Filtering a list of songs allows you to choose to view only the tracks within a given Category/Genre/Style.  This allows you to easily see how many you have, check if they need more details entering - or just to export the data to M3U, CSV or one of the playout formats.

The ItemType is also part of the filter, so if you have THEME as both JINGLE and SONG Styles, you will only see the items falling under that particular ItemType.  To find *ALL* items with THEME in the Style, select "Style" from the "Search Column/Field" dropdown and type THEME in the "Search for.." box.

Click the desired Style, and MyLibrary will re-populate the main list with those tracks matching the selected Style.  If you hold down CTRL while clicking the Style, items NOT matching the selection will be filtered, eg: if you CTRL+click "POP", all items that are NOT POP will show in the Filter View.

This filtered list is shown with blue text to denote that you are using the "filtered view".

Important! The Genre/Style tree will perform a database lookup if the "Database Search" fields are visible (this switches with the Folder preset dropdown), otherwise it will process the current view/folder of files.

Top Tip!
If you wish to filter via TWO Category/Genre/Style values, you can use the Database search bar for the 1st query, then click the "Show Folder Presets" button which will hide the search bar and revert back to the Folder Presets... However, this will also set the Style Tree to apply a filter on the current list contents rather than a Database query.

eg: Select "Style" in the "Search Column/Field" dropdown and type a name, then click the "Show Folder Presets" button.  You can then click (or CTRL-click to invert the filter) an entry from the Style Tree to (not) filter via that 2nd Style.  So you could search for items that are "POP" and then use the Style tree to filter those results are not DANCE.

PasteList
This window allows you to select items from the main window and use CTRL-V to "paste" the Artist, Title and FileName into a list.  An M3U (path\filename) export file can then be created.  This permits easy creation of dedicated audio lists that may contain files from many Genres/Styles.
