iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual, Second Edition

Edit Menu

Unlike the typical text-oriented Cut, Copy, and Paste commands on the Edit menu in most programs, MusicMatch Jukebox Plus offers tasks that are more relevant for digital audio files and playlists.

Playlist Track Tag(s)

Use this command to edit the track information file that comes with each song in your music library. You can retype album names; add labels for the song’s mood, genre, and tempo; paste in lyrics; and even add album cover art for each song.

Super Tag Playlist Track(s)

If you have a whole bunch of track tags you need to modify (Section 5.6.4), the Super Tagging feature can make the chore easier and faster. The Lookup Tags function on this submenu locates and adds the correct tag information by scanning the song file names. Choose the Tag from Filename option if you want to turn the existing file name into a tag or Rename Files to do the reverse and change the file’s name to match that of its tag.

Copy Art to Clipboard

If you have some album art on display in the Media Window that you’d like to use for your song tags, click it and then choose Copy Art to Clipboard. From there you can paste it into the song’s track tag (Section 5.3.4). If you’ve scanned in art from a CD cover, you can right-click the GIF or JPG file to copy it onto the clipboard.

Paste/Tag Art from Clipboard

You can use this Paste command to stick a copy of the album art or graphic from the clipboard into the MusicMatch Jukebox Media Window or in the Art area of the Playlist Track Tag dialog box.
