Add Wizard

This wizard has been designed to offer a versatile way to recognize information in the media files such as the artist, album, etc...

Since there're several ways to specify this information, the Wizard offers three different approaches:

  • ID3 Tag Only useful for MP3 files and will retrieve the information right from each file and make it available to the Play List
  • File Name Parsing Maybe the most widely used way to index the media files is by specifying the information in the file name, such as: "Artist - Title - Album.mp3"
    In case you use any other formatting, simply move and rearrange the fields as needed.
  • Directory Tree Parsing Some people is using directories to specify the songs information, for example, storing all the R.E.M. songs under a directory called R.E.M. If this is your case, select this option and arrange the fields in the same order as you order the directories.

The default settings are used to tell SABS from where to retrieve that information when not using the Wizard, such as when using the normal Add method, or when dropping files directly into the program.
