I wish to know if the following functionalities are possible using MJ:

1) I changed some track info while the option "Update tags when file info changes" were NOT checked. How can I now update all modificated tag in one step?

2) How can I get all the cover art of my media library files?

3) Can I sort the artists using not alphbetical criteria? For instance, first the artist with more songs in my library.

4) How do I create a "view sheme" that only shows me the artists with at least 20 songs?

5) Is the "Artist album" tag saved into the MP3 and WMA files or it is just saved into the MJ library?


If you do no know the answer for every issue, does not matter. Answer me what you know. Thanks for your help.

Select all files, right click, select properties, change the combo box lower right to save all tags

>> 2) How can I get all the cover art of my media library files?
select files, right click, properties, tools, get cover art

>> 5) Is the "Artist album" tag saved into the MP3 and WMA files or
>> it is just saved into the MJ library?
depends how you have it set, default is saved to the files

setup, plug-in manager, input, mp3, edit the settings

I don't have MJ in front of me so how to get there might be slightly off.

The Help in MJ is pretty good.  You might want to take a look at it.

Thanks KingSparta for your info. Let me comment these points.

1) Yes, solved! However, I noticed that appears a warning message if the auto update tag is unchecked. This is very annoying if I modify the info without accesing the properties files (the warning appears once for file). And if I go to the properties, MJ reads the files tag (what is slow), which does not seems necessary to me. Can I disable the warning message or disable tag file reading?

2) Ok. Thanks. I wondered if it was posible without going to properties (it is slow). MJ library already has my album and artist names so it seemed posible to search for covers without scan hundreds of files tags.

5) WMA plug-in does not have that option. I do not know if it is stored into file. Another players do not have/show the "Artist album" tag. How can I know what is and what is not stored into a single file?


About JimH comment, I have to say that I already looked into MJ help, which is really pretty good. But I still had some doubts. Thanks any way, Jim.
