The Property dialog
The Property dialog can be used to display and edit all properties for a single item or a multiple-selection. It is accessible from:
- The table views (right click on the element(s) -> Properties)
- The tree views (right click on the element(s) -> Properties)
- The playlist repository view (right click on a playlist -> Properties).
Note : you can also use the Alt-Enter keystroke.
Notes:
- For music files, genres, artists and albums we show both item(s) (left side) and associated track(s) (right side) properties for convenience.
- Custom properties names are in blue to distinct them.
- In case of multiple selection, the Property dialog only display common properties that can be changed. A blank field means that items have different values, change it and apply to update every items together.
Property dialog contains these columns:
- Property name (custom properties in blue).
- Property value (editable or not according with situation and rules).
- Link: If value is itself an item, click on the button to display associated property dialog.
- Type: Property type.
When all properties are set, click on Apply to update properties and commit them in music files if tag properties.
Tags
Some properties are stored in collection and in the music files itself (like ID3 tags) at the same time. These properties are: genre, artist, album, track name, year, comment and track #.
If you change tags via another application, use "Perform a deep tag scan" option and launch a device refresh to take them into account in Jajuk (see view preferences).
Note that tags are stored in Unicode (UTF-16LE) in files. This encoding is compatible with all players (Windows Media Player or Winamp for instance) and allows Asian people to correctly edit tags using Jajuk.
Get tags online
Jajuk enables to change all tracks for an album using CDDB music online databases (like freedb). To use it, select "Get tag online" function on a directory node in Physical Files Tree view in contextual menu.
Extra tags
By default, Jajuk only work with a small number of tags (artist, year...) but the music files may content many others. You can enable any tag into Jajuk using the Extra Tag dialog.
