Add media information using the advanced tag editor
The library doesn't show all of the media information attributes that are available, such as Original album or Beats per minute. If you want to change an attribute that does not appear in the library or you want to change several attributes at once, use Advanced Tag Editor. A tag is another name for a media information attribute.
To add media information using the Advanced Tag Editor
- Click the Library tab, double-click an album or artist category, click a song, right-click the title, and then click Advanced Tag Editor.
- In the appropriate boxes on each tab, type the information that you want to add or fix, and then click OK. The information is added to both the library and the file immediately.
Prevent media information from being overwritten
After you have taken the time to add media information to your files, it is a good idea to verify that it will not be overwritten by the Player later.
To prevent media information from being overwritten
- Click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click More Options.
- In the Automatic media information updates for files area, verify that the Only add missing information option is selected. (It is selected by default.)
This will prevent the Player from inadvertently overwriting the correct media information you have added with the incorrect media information that might be available in the online database.Note that selecting the Only add missing information option will not prevent the Player from overwriting your changes if you use the Find Album Info command to manually download media information from the online database.
