Personalizar Colecciones y Reglas de Reproducción

MediaMonkey le ayudará a organizar sus archivos multimedia en 'Colecciones' que pueden ser personalizadas para mostrar grandes cantidades de archivos de la manera más apropiada para el contenido. En adición, le permite definir que cantidad de archivos individuales se manejan basándose en el 'Tipo' de archivo.

Colecciones

Las Colecciones le permiten segmentar su catálogo basándose en un criterio en específico (por ejemplo Tipo=Música Clásica ó Tipo=Música y Género=Comedia) y definir que archivos mostrar. Por ejemplo:

• qué columnas son mostradas
• qué Nodos son mostrados en el Árbol de Multimedia
• cómo los archivos están ordenados
• qué vista está activa (por ejemplo: Mostrar Detalles vs Mostrar Navegador de Arte)

For instance, you might want to create a Collection for 'Kid's Music' (based on Type=Music AND Genre=Children;Kids), where only the Artist and Album nodes are shown to make it easy for Children to browse.

Nota:

• Las Listas de Reproducción muestran archivos basándose en los ajustes de la Colección asociados con sus archivos que la conforman, aunque esto puede ser cambiado a través de las propiedades de la Lista de Reproducción.
• La Colección Catálogo Completo lista todos sus archivos en el Catálogo y tiene su propio conjunto de ajustes genéricos.
• Los nodos de 'Busqueda' muestran archivos utilizando los ajustes de la Colección último-visitado.

• 'Search' nodes display files using the settings of the last-visited Collection.
• If your missing Media Files in your Library you should verify in the Entire Library > Location node that the files are actually missing.

To create or edit a Collection, use File > Manage Collections or Tools > Options > Media Tree and then:

1. Use the Create button to create a new Collection or select a Collection and use the Edit button to edit a Collection
2. Set the Criteria associated with the Collection (just as you would define Search Criteria)
3. Set which Tree Nodes and Columns should be shown and in what order (you can also change which columns are displayed for the current Collection by right-clicking on the column headers and/or drag and dropping the columns to change their order in the Filelistings)

To enable or disable a Collection, use File > Manage Collections or Tools > Options > Media Tree and then:

1. Check the Collection to enable it in the MediaMonkey Media Tree
2. Use the half-check / filled in checkbox to have the Collection appear in the MediaMonkey Media Tree whenever it contains files
3. Uncheck it to hide the Collection in the MediaMonkey Media Tree
4. The Entire Library Collection can be enabled/disabled here as well

To change the Type of a file and thus in which Collection it is shown use Properties:

1. Right click on a file or files and select Properties
2. Modify the Type field
3. Click OK

Types

The 'Type' attribute determines how individual files are handled:

• How files are Played:

• Whether Bookmarking is enabled
• Whether Shuffle mode is ignored
• Whether Crossfading is disabled
• Whether Auto-DJ is active

• How files are displayed:

• The fields displayed in the Properties dialog
• The descriptive text for any track that appears in the Player and Now Playing (Summary) column
• The descriptive text for any track that appears in Art Views

• How files are synced:

• What categories they're browsable through on an iPod or other portable device

In MediaMonkey 4, there are 8 hardcoded Types: Music, Podcast, Audiobook, Classical Music, Music Video, Video, TV, and Video Podcast. During the first scan into the Library:

• Audio files are added as Type=Music except

• they're added as 'Audiobook' if Extension=M4B or Genre contains 'Audiobook' or 'Audio Book'
• they're added as 'Podcast' if Genre contains 'Podcast'
• they're added as 'Classical Music' if Genre contains 'Classical'

• Video files are added as Type=Video except

• they're added as 'Video Podcast' if Genre contains 'Podcast'
• they're added as 'TV' if Genre contains 'TV Show', 'TV Series' or 'Television'
• they're added as 'Music Video' if Genre contains 'Music Video'

The 'Type' associated with a file can be edited at any time via File > Properties > Type.

To edit the behaviors associated with each file 'Type' go to Tools > Options > Player > Playback rules.
