Attach to database

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

New in this version is a "batch attach" function that will attach audio files to multiple albums in one operation. This is great time saver!

Simply open the Audio menu and choose Attach Audio Files, then specify the folder you want CATraxx to scan.

CATraxx starts to scan the folders, and will read the necessary information (album title, track index, etc.) from the tag or file/folder name. When completed, it will build a list of albums without any attached audio files, and finally try to attach the scanned audio files to these albums. Please be patient, this may take a while!

CATraxx will inform you about the total number of scanned audio files, and how many files that it was able to attach to tracks in the database. Then you will see the result of the scan:

You should now check that the audio files have actually been attached to the correct albums/tracks. If the wrong audio files have been attached to an album, uncheck the box next to the album name. You can use drag-and-drop to rearrange the audio files in the track list if the files have been attached to the correct album, but to the wrong track.

Click OK to update the database. When completed, CATraxx will inform you of the number of audio files that were not attached. It will also ask if you want to view the log file. This log file will list all files (grouped by folder) that were not attached. You can manually attach these audio files from the Album Edit window on an album by album basis.
