The Virtual CD node displays all Tracks that have been saved to the Virtual CD. The Virtual CD can be thought of as a cache for physical CDs that tracks what CDs you own and stores a subset of tracks from the to your hard drive. Instead of tracking your physical CDs and tracks separately, the virtual CD function gives you an integrated view. The Virtual CD node is used mainly when you are ripping CD Tracks to your hard drive.
For example: If a CD by The Tragically Hip has been added to the library and the user saves 3 tracks to the Virtual CD, then those tracks will appear in the Virtual CD node. More importantly, the disc will appear in the /Locations node, with all tracks visible in the tracklist, however, all but 3 of the tracks that have been saved to the virtual CD will be greyed out (because the CD isn't inserted and they're thus unavailable). Without the Virtual CD functionality, it wouldn't be possible to easily ascertain the relationship between physical CDs in a collection, and the subset of tracks from those CDs that have been ripped.

The Previews node displays all Previews--short samples of your audio Tracks--that have been created. These are useful if you want to quickly listen to a large number of songs in a short period of time.

The MediaMonkey library consists of all of the Media Files you've scanned into MediaMonkey organized and customized into Collections. Collections can consist of the entire library, or subsets of the library, each displaying in a customized manner. For example you can have one Collection for Classical Music that displays content by composer and another for Children's Music that displays by Album.

The contents of each Collection can be organized by various subnodes. The nodes are useful for browsing your collection based on attributes such as Location, Title, Artist, Album, Genre, etc, or for making changes to a Track's properties by dragging and dropping it between nodes.

Location

This displays Files in the MediaMonkey Library based on their physical location--any folder or physical media containing a file in the MediaMonkey Library will show up here. The subnodes are:

Local Storage

Displays any folders on the hard disk containing Files that are in the library. This is useful if you want to move/consolidate Files within a folder to a different location.

CD

Displays any physical CDs which you have added to the library (note that this is different from the Album node, which shows Files grouped by the Album that they appear on--regardless of whether the physical CD has been added to the Library). If you select a CD, but the CD is not inserted, then the Files are greyed out.

See: Adding CDs to the Library

Network

Functions similarly to the Local Storage view -- it displays any folders on the network containing Files that are in the MediaMonkey Library.

Media Servers

Displays and files found on UPnP servers that have been added to the MediaMonkey Library.

Artists, Album Artists, Composer and Conductor

Displays subnodes for the respective Artist, Album Artist, Composer and Conductor values for audio files.

Note: Artists, Album Artists, Composer and Conductor supports multiple values, which means that any given file can appear in multiple subnodes.

Actors, Directors and Producers

Displays subnodes for the respective Actor, Director and Producer values for video files.

Note: Actor, Director and Producer supports multiple values, which means that any given file can appear in multiple subnodes.

Publisher

Displays subnodes for the respective Publisher.

Album

Displays subnodes for each Album for audio files. Each subnode consists of an Album (and associated Album Artist in parentheses) whose Files are displayed in the order in which they appear on the album. This is in contrast to the CDs that appear in the Locations node, which represent physical CDs.

Note: Incorrectly tagged compilation albums can appear as several individual albums all having the same name. This can be fixed by assigning the same Album name to all files on the Album and the same Album Artist to all the files on the Album.

See: Editing Album Artists.

Series

Displays subnodes for each Series for video files.

Genre

Displays subnodes for each Genre.

Note: Genre support multiple values, which means that any given file can appear in multiple Genre subnodes.

Year

Displays subnodes for each Year. Subnodes consist of Decades and Years. This is often useful for selecting a mix of files from a certain era.

Rating

Displays subnodes for each Rating. This is useful for selecting and re-rating all Files.

Classification

Displays subnodes for each Classification tag: Tempo, Mood, Occasion, Quality. These are useful for reclassifying files via Drag and Drop.

Files to Edit

This contains various nodes that help you locate Files that may have problems, inconsistencies that need to be corrected, or missing information. It is particularly useful when you are correcting the properties of your various Files. These nodes are a help to locate files that may need editing, but this may not be needed for all files displayed in these sub-nodes. It's up to the user to evaluate which files may need editing.

Unknown Title, Artist, Producer, Actor, Composer, Conductor Album, Genre, Year and Rating

Displays Files that have no value defined for that specific tag.

Unclassified Files

Displays all Files that don't have classifications such as Tempo, Mood, or Occasion defined.

Unknown Artwork

Displays all Files which have no Artwork associated with the File.

Multiple Artist Albums

Displays all Albums and associated Files that have a common Album name, but no common Album Artist value. This usually occurs when some sort of typo has occurred, or if an Album is a compilation by multiple artists, but files haven't been given a common Album Artist such as 'Various'.

See: Editing Album Artists

Dead Links

This displays Files in the MediaMonkey Library that cannot be found because they've been deleted, moved or renamed resulting in MediaMonkey have the file with an non-existent Path in the MediaMonkey Library. If the File was intentionally deleted, you can delete the File from the MediaMonkey Library. If the File wasn't intentionally deleted, you should try to retrieve the file via.

See: Updating the Library

Unanalyzed Volume

This displays files that either have unknown Track Volume and/or Album Volume.

Unorganized Files

This displays Files that have paths/filenames that don't match the desired path/filename format set as Auto-Organize rules (Gold only) under Tools > Options > Auto-Organize.

Unsynchronized Tags

This displays all Tracks for which Tags do not match the Track Information contained within the Library. This may occur if you've enabled inference of Track Properties when adding files to the library, if v1 and v2 tags do not match, or if tags for a specific Track haven't be updated properly due to improperly formed or non-standard tag formats.

See: Synchronizing Your Tags

Duplicate Titles

This displays all Tracks that have duplicate titles. This is useful when you're removing duplicates from your collection.

See: Deleting Duplicates

Duplicate Content

This displays all Tracks that are identical to one another in terms of the audio content (tags and other metadata are ignored).

See: Deleting Duplicates.
