The main mythfrontend -Setup is for global MythMusic configuration. Go to the -Setup/MythMusic/General Setup screen and adjust it for your particular -configuration.</P> -<P>The second configuration screen is within the MythMusic program and will -allow you rescan your music library, etc.</P> -<P>Here's some explanation about the Ignore_ID3 and The NonID3FileNameFormat:</P> -<P>If Ignore_ID3 is set to TRUE, MythMusic will try to determine the -Genre, Artist, Album, Track Number, and Title from the filename of the -mp3 file. The NonID3FileNameFormat variable should be set to the -directory/file format where the mp3 files are stored. For instance, I -store mine in the above shown Genre/Artist/Album/Track format. MythMusic -will then use this information to fill in the proper fields when it -populates the musicmetadata table rather than searching for an ID3 tag in -the mp3 file.</P> -<P>The files can be laid out in any format, such as:</P> -<P>Genre/Artist/Album/Title -Artist/Genre/Album/Title -Artist/Album/Title (with Genre left as Unknown)</P> -<P>The track number is optional but can be specified with the title by using -the TRACK_TITLE keyword instead of TITLE. If TRACK_TITLE is used, -then the filename can have a space, hyphen, or underscore separating the -track number from the track title. Keywords are case insensitive, so if -you specify GENRE it's the same as Genre in the format field.</P> -<P>The Ignore_ID3 option does not disable the code that determines the track -length, just the portion that tries to read ID3 info.</P> - -<H2><A NAME="ss17.6">17.6</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc17.6">Using MythMusic</A> -</H2> - -<P>MythMusic is fairly simple to use. It is recommended that you insert the -CD before selecting "Import CD". You should also ensure that your system -doesn't try to automount the CD and begin playing it automatically.</P> -<P>Here's some information on playlist management:</P> -<P>Q: How do I create a new playlist? -A: Using the MythMusic "Select Music" menu option, setup the playlist as you -normally would by adding songs or other playlists as needed. When you are -ready to save the new playlist, highlight "Active Play Queue" at the bottom -of the selection tree and hit the "i" key. This will pop up a menu allowing -you to name and save the new playlist. You can also hit Enter to bring up -the popup on the Active Play Queue. This does not work on the playlists -above, as Enter is obviously bound to checking/unchecking the boxes. Any -number (i.e. keypad on remote) will also bring up the menu in both cases.</P> -<P>Q: How do I enter the playlist name in the text field without a keyboard? -A: Use the keypad number keys (bound to your remote) to select letters -quasi-cell phone style. Keys 2-9 work pretty much like any cell phone text -entry. 1 cycles through a few special characters, delete, and space. 0 is -like a CAPS LOCK. Hard to describe, fairly easy to use. You will soon be -able to specify the cycle timing in a Setup screen. You can type fairly -quickly through a combination of jumping around the number keys AND hitting -a non-number key (right arrow is particularly good for this) to force the -current character.</P> -<P>Q: How do I edit a playlist? -A: Highlight the playlist in the selection tree and hit the "i" key then -select "Move to Active Play Queue" in the popup. You can now modify the -"Active Play Queue" like normal, adding songs and playlists by selecting -them from the song tree. When you are done, highlight the "Active Play -Queue" in the selection tree and hit the "i" key then select "Save Back to -Playlist Tree". And whatever you were editing as your Active Queue before -you moved an existing playlist "on top" of Active reappears. Think of Active -has having a push on, pop off capability, but with a depth of only 1.</P> -<P>Q: How do I delete an item from a playlist? -A: Highlight the item in the selection tree and hit the "d" key.</P> -<P>Q: How do I rearrange the songs in my playlist? -A: Highlight a song and hit the "space" bar, the song will now have pair of -red arrows in front of it. Use the up and down arrow keys to move it around -in the playlist. When you have it where you want it, hit the "space" bar -again.</P> -<P>Q: How do I delete a playlist? -A: Highlight the playlist in the selection tree and hit the "i" key then -select "Delete this Playlist" from the popup.</P> - -<H2><A NAME="ss17.7">17.7</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc17.7">Troubleshooting MythMusic</A> -</H2> - -<P>You may run into errors when running MythMusic.</P> -<H3>When I run MythMusic and try and look up a CD, I get an error message </H3> - -<P>The full text of the message will say: </P> -<P>databasebox.o: Couldn't find your CD.
