Hi Steve,
I never did speak with paul as I got company and the time flew by.
I did figure out how to adde new music, though. In your explanation below,
you say to add a new category? What if the music is all, say, country or
rock. You, assumably, have the rest of that type music in the appropriate
categories, so I didn't understand your advice re: creating a new one.
I ran the windows automatic graphics labeling program and, only one
new thing emerged. When on tracks, a right arrow renders new folder 1.
When you right click, or applications key or shift f10, a context menus
comes up. One of the choices is add. When it is activated, you then get a
choice of adding a file or a directory. Just press enter on your choice and
an explorer tree view comes up to find the new material. Press enter on it
and it gets imported.
When I went into program files, spacial audio, and then sam, I
found a m3u playlist called first time. Its what plays the files and
announcements when you first run the program. So, I'll be a real happy
camper when I can figure out how to load and play a predesigned playlist,
like, say smooth jazz for dinner music, etc.
I assume that if your music is properly tagged, when it gets loaded
into the database it goes into the appropriate category. Problem is, not
all music is properly tagged! Well, I'll try to further explore the
category scheme and its usefulness. Mostly, though, I set up preset picked
playlists to match the occasion and encourage requests.
Thanks,
Rusty
