It would be helpful if you told us what operating system you are using There is no manual, most times if you do a general internet search for a question about Clementine will provide answers, looking through the threads here will have some hints Keep a copy of your files some where safe, try stuff Tools>Cover Manager>Right click on any item>search for album covers, is an easy way to start, you can always cancel, if there are no results keep removing information & search again
The library is a folder containing all the folders for each artist containing folders for each album that contains the individual files, that is the structure Clementine expects to find you can do it other ways, but may not be able to use all the features I have 1000's of files I generated from lp's, getting the tags in a useful form can require inputting every parameter individually or looking up the discography of the band on wikipedia Right click any file in your library or playlist>Edit track information>complete tags automatically will work part of the time, the clementine tag editor is very powerful, but can take some time if the number of tag being changed I also use Easy Tag to write tags in my library The information doesn't have to be correct, it just need to exist & be consistent enough to meet your needs I'd say Artist, Album, Track number, track name [which can be the same as track number] would be the minimum, the album could contain all of the artists songs & be called anything, I would avoid having every album have the same name as it's confusing... Being able to sort [playlist] & filter [Smart Playlists] allows you to generate playlists without explicitly picking every song one at a time On Tuesday, September 24, 2019 at 12:00:13 PM UTC-7, Dana Peterson wrote: > > Hello.
