tagged. When your collection is scanned, XBMC stores all the tagging information (artist, album, year, genre,

etc) in the database which allows you to efficiently search and manage your music collection. If you have never

taken the time to tag your music properly, the time is now! Today most media applications and players (iTunes /

iPod for example) organize your music by this ID tag information.

Note: Your audio files MUST have a valid ID tag for them to work properly in the XBMC Music Library. There

are third party applications available for download from the Internet that allow you to add and manage ID tags in

your music files.

Scanning your music

To scan your music collection into the Music Library, first make sure you are not in 'Library Mode'

(checkmark on the left). Next browse to the location of your music collection and bring up the The Context

Menu menu with various options. Select the option labeled "Scan item to database". XBMC will then

proceed to scan the selected music source in the background into the database/library. Once the scan is

complete, you can browse your collection by selecting 'Library Mode'.

Navigating your Library

The library organizes your music into many categories, allowing you to find a specific song using one of many

possible criteria. Below you can see root menu showing the different sections.

View You can the toggle between the different display

options, amongst others; List, Icons and Big Icons.

Sort By You can choose what criteria to sort your music

by. Note the arrow to the right which controls whether

the items are sorted in ascending or descending order.

Library Mode This control allows you to switch

between Library Mode and File View. (used to be called

Switch View)

Search You can search for a string anywhere in the

XBMC music database, see more below.

Filter Allows you to filter the library to only show

albums, artists or songs that include the specified string

in the name.

Party Mode See below.

Searching your Library

The search button is available on the left side of the 'Music' window, and is also available in the root listing of

your music library. Select it to begin your search. A keyboard will pop-up where you may enter search terms

(SMS style with the remote, or just using the virtual keyboard). As you enter more letters, the search will be

performed in the background, and results displayed in the search node of the music library. Previous searches are

saved, so if you return to the search node later on, it will have the results of your previous search. Artists and

Albums are shown on top, followed by matching songs. If the search string you enter is less than 3 characters,

XBMC will just search in the first word of each artist/album/song. Otherwise it will do a full word search.

NOTE: In order to search within words as well as just for words beginning with your search string, place

1 2 ... 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ... 65 66
