• Song Section

This is the main section of NordBeat's Jukebox to manage your Song files.

• Move files to flat folder...
    Move all files to one flat folder, no folder structure will be generated.

• Copy files to flat folder...
    Make a copy of all files to one flat folder, no folder structure will be generated.

• Folder Structure Generator...
    You can create folder structures of your sound files on the hard disk directly!
    You can choose Album, Artist, Genre and Rate to create folders and you can even combine
    two, tree or all of this types for sub folders!
    [Picture and more...]
    See also -> Tutorial for using 'Rename' and 'Folder Structure Generator'

• Rename all file names using database tags...
    You can select between Album, Artist, Track Number, Title, Time and SongID
    and a delimiter to choose your new desired file name format of files on the harddisks!

    NOTE: There's a auto number function inside to avoid overwriting existing files.
    If you selected i.e. Title only for renaming the files and you have multiple sound files
    with the same name like 'Sample Title', the 'Renamer' will rename the songs like this way:

    - Sample Title.mp3
    - Sample Title1.mp3
    - Sample Title2.mp3
    - Sample Title3.mp3
    - etc...

• Update Tags of all modified files
    This function will write and update all modified sound files only with ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags with data
    from the Jukebox's database.

• Update Tags of all files
    This function will write and update all Sound files with ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags with data
    from the Jukebox's database.

• Auto Assign Songs for Title / Artist in Songtitle
    If you converting Audio-CDs to MP3 and you are using CDDB or FreeDB to get (sometimes)
    correct Song Titles, Album name, Artists, etc... from these internet databases, you get in most cases
    these results:

    And that's really not way I should be!
    This 'Auto assign' function is looking for common delimiters in the song title like:
    ' - '     (space+minus+space)
    '--'     (two minus)
    ' / '    (space+'/'+space)
    '  '      (two spaces)
    'Auto assign' will search now with the left and right part for already existing Artists in database and
    will automatically assign these songs with these artists.

    If Artist 'NordBeat' exists in database and we run 'Auto assign', we should get this result:

• Manual Assign Songs for Title / Artist in Songtitle...
    In principle the same function like 'Auto assign'. 'Manual assign' function is also looking for common
    delimiters in the song title like:
    ' - '     (space+minus+space)
    '--'     (two minus)
    ' / '    (space+'/'+space)
    '  '      (two spaces)
    See Picture for detailed information...

• Check all files for availability
    Use this helper tool compare all sound files to check if they exist on the hard disk, CD-Rom, etc...
    with the Jukebox's database. If a song no longer exists (i.e. CD-Rom removed), the song will be
    marked as red in the lists.
