This quick start guide describes how you can tag your files using the new PicardTagger.
- Select a directory and then drag a directory or files to the New files (drag files to tag here) folder.
- Wait for files to show up in the unclustered files folder and click on the cluster button in the toolbar to cluster files into albums.
- Highlight a clustered album and click on lookup. Find the right album using your normal web browser.
- Click on the icon.
- Drag the clustered album onto the album that was just opened, if it didn't happen automatically.
- Click on the save button in the toolbar to save files.
- A green check mark means the file is saved in its proper location.
At first there may not seem much to Picard, but a lot of Picard's power is in its extensive drag and drop features. Try some of these operations:
- Drag a file from the file selector to an album track
- Drag a file from the file selector to an album -- this attempts to match the file to the album automatically
- Drag a directory from the dir selector to an album -- this attempts to match all the files from the dir to the album
- Drag an album cluster onto an album to match the cluster to the album
- Drag one album onto another to match all the files from one to the other
- Drag an album cluster into unclustered files to move the cluster back to unclustered
- Drag album unmatched files onto another album or back to unclustered files
