Edit track details

Open#Link to “Open”

• Press E or the “Details” button in the toolbar above the track list
• Right-click → “Edit”
• Enter on a row (“Open details”)

Since 4.3 the details are a docked panel to the right of the track list. It blocks nothing: clicking another row shows that track, and you set the width yourself. With Alt+← and Alt+→ you switch to the previous or next track.

Fields#Link to “Fields”

Metadata

Title, artist, remixer, version / mix, album, label, genre, year, BPM, key, composer, producer, track number, grouping

Rating and organisation

Energy (1–10), rating (0–5), plays, review status (“Open · in Inbox” or “Manually checked”), favourite, archived, comment, notes

Tags

Separate with commas; a separate selection for each tag category

Several tracks at once#Link to “Several tracks at once”

With a selection, the panel shows “MULTIPLE SELECTION”. Fields with different values show “Mixed values” and stay unchanged per track as long as you leave them empty. Tags become “Add tags” and “Remove tags”. You can undo every changed field with “Reset”.

Save#Link to “Save”

“Save changes” or “Apply to … tracks” (Ctrl+S or Ctrl+Enter) saves. “Cancel” discards all input. If you close the panel with unsaved changes, Sonodex asks: “Save”, “Discard changes” or “Keep editing”. If a track has changed in the meantime, you choose “Apply input to the new state” or “Load latest version”.

File management#Link to “File management”

“File management · Preview” in the selection bar offers: “Write Sonodex metadata to audio files”, “Move and rename files” (pattern, for example {artist}/{artist} - {title}), “Add / replace album art”, “Remove album art”, “Serato: write cues, loops and beatgrid” and “Convert audio format · Re-encode”. First “Preview changes”, then “Run preview”. Sonodex first writes each file as a temporary file next to the target, verifies it by checksum and then replaces it in one step. It does not create a backup copy: changed files cannot be restored afterwards.
