Can you give me quick review on how to set up the CSDS program.
I have it loaded but not sure where the best place is to store
the mp-3 music files.
You may store mp3 files anywhere you'd like. For the current state of the program, it is easiest if you store all your mp3 files in a single folder. For example, I store mine in c:\sqdata\mp3.
After you have some mp3 files on disk, you need to add
(a reference to) them in the CSDS Music Database.
- Run the CSDS program;
- Select 'Music | Edit Music Database' to bring up the Edit Music Database window;
- From the Edit Music Database window, select 'Edit | Add new MP3 Files from Folder'. Browse to the folder in which you have mp3 files and click 'OK'. Any mp3 files that are not yet in the database will be added to the database.
If your mp3 files are named as "title-label-labelnumber.mp3"
(e.g., c:\sqdata\my mp3new\OhLonesomeMe-Alliance-110.mp3), then
CSDS can automatically extract the title, label, and label number.
After loading music into the music database, check out the grid
entries and edit fields as necessary.
