+ <h1>4. Track Properties</h1>
+
+ <p>The chapter describes how to edit track properties.</p>
+
+ <p class=image><img src="track-properties.png"></p>
+
+ <p>This window can be invoked from any of the four tabs by
+ selecting one or more tracks and then either selected <b>Edit >
+ Track Properties</b> or via the right-click pop-up menu.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name=names>4.1 Track Name Parts</a></h2>
+
+ <p>The first three fields for each track are the parts of its name:
+ the artist, album and title. These control what appear in the
+ similarly named columns in the queue and other tabs. If they are
+ wrong then you can edit them here to correct them.</p>
+
+ <p>The double-headed arrow at the right of each field will copy the
+ current field value to all the other tracks in the window. For
+ instance if an album name is mis-spelled or wrong then you could
+ follow the following procedure to correct it for all its
+ tracks:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+
+ <li>In the <b>Choose</b> tab, select all the tracks in the album.</li>
+
+ <li>Select <b>Edit > Track Properties</b> to bring up the track
+ properties window.</li>
+
+ <li>Edit the album name in the first track.</li>
+
+ <li>Click the arrow button to the right of the corrected version.</li>
+
+ <li>Click the <b>OK</b> button.</li>
+
+ </ol>
+
+ <h2><a name=tags>4.2 Tags</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Each track has an associated collection of tags. These can used
+ when searching for tracks in the <b>Choose</b> tab or to control
+ which tracks are picked at random (although this functionality is
+ not readily available in current versions of Disobedience).</p>
+
+ <p>To add tags to a track enter the tags you want to apply to it in
+ the <b>Tags</b> field, separated by commas. Tags cannot contain
+ commas and are compared without regard to whitespace.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name=weight>4.3 Track Weight</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Every track has an associated weight. A higher weight makes the
+ track more likely to be picked at random and lower weight makes it
+ less likely to be picked at random. (In the simplest case the
+ probability that it will be picked is equal to its weight divided
+ by the total weight of all tracks, although there are a number of
+ other factors that modify this.)</p>
+
+ <p>If no weight has been explicitly set then the track gets a
+ default weight of 90,000.</p>
+
+ <p>One way to prevent a track being picked at random would be to
+ set its weight to zero, but in fact there is a box you can untick
+ to suppress random selection of tracks too.</p>
