Matt,
This is my problem:
I import 6 new albums into MC and want to tag all the tracks, filling the genre. What I do now is:
1.- I have a view scheme name "tagging" that is fed with my "recently imported" playlist. The view scheme has all the required fields, ie. genre/album artist (auto)/artist/rating/ etc.
2.- I press F4 to get to tagging mode.
3.- I select the first album to tag. I need to assign the following criteria: Genre = Folk - Contemporary; Album Artist = Compilations - Folk; Rating = 4
4.- The panes are now populated with all the available options with their relative check-boxes.... but, in the Genre column I only have "Blues" and neither one of the other genres is showing up (though they exist). The Album Artist column shows nothing and the Rating column shows nothing too.
This is because it seems that "tagging mode" does not show all the available "genres", "album artist" and "ratings" available in the library but only the ones that already have a file assigned in the precise playlist you're working with.
Perhaps there is a better way to achieve what I need. I just want to tag my new albums and have all the options available for each field... i.e., all the genres, all the ratings, etc. I cannot work with the whole library cause it's a 60.000 tracks library and it's impossible to find which are the new albums unless I use a view scheme fed with the "recently imported" or "imported today" playlists.
Thanks again for any suggestion.
