4. Track Properties

+ +

The chapter describes how to edit track properties.

+ +

+ +

This window can be invoked from any of the four tabs by + selecting one or more tracks and then either selected Edit > + Track Properties or via the right-click pop-up menu.

+ +

4.1 Track Name Parts

+ +

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.

+ +

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:

+ +
    + +
  1. In the Choose tab, select all the tracks in the album.
    2. + +
  2. Select Edit > Track Properties to bring up the track + properties window.
    3. + +
  3. Edit the album name in the first track.
    4. + +
  4. Click the arrow button to the right of the corrected version.
    5. + +
  5. Click the OK button.
    6. + +
+ +

4.2 Tags

+ +

Each track has an associated collection of tags. These can used + when searching for tracks in the Choose tab or to control + which tracks are picked at random (although this functionality is + not readily available in current versions of Disobedience).

+ +

To add tags to a track enter the tags you want to apply to it in + the Tags field, separated by commas. Tags cannot contain + commas and are compared without regard to whitespace.

+ +

4.3 Track Weight

+ +

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.)

+ +

If no weight has been explicitly set then the track gets a + default weight of 90,000.

+ +

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.
