This is where you customize library fields and set the conversion options for Library Server.
The Library Fields box lists all library fields, including custom fields. To view details for any field, select it in the list and then click Edit. To add a new field, select Add, and to delete a field, select it then press Delete.
Selecting Edit or Add opens the Configure Library Field window, with the following options:
General
Name. The internal name of the field.
Display. The name to be displayed in the interface.
Category. Where you want the information stored in File Properties (general, extended, audio, display, file info).
Search
Keywords. The keyword that appears in searches. If there are multiple keywords, they must be separated by a semi-colon (without spaces).
Default Search Field. Enable this if you want this field searched when you type something like "dylan" rather than artist=dylan.
Data
User Data - Data Type. You can create various types of data, including string, integer, decimal, percentage or a semicolon delimited list.
User Data - Edit Type.
- Standard. A basic string (like artist, genre, etc).
- Clear Only. Select this to clear information that Media Center fills in for you. For example, if your field tracks the number of times something happens (a file is played, etc), you may want the option to clear the information and start over.
- Large Value. Long strings, like "Lyrics". This field uses a popup window for editing.
- Cannot be edited. Your field cannot be edited.
User Data Values. Semi-colon delimited list of values you can use (example: 1;2;3;4;5 for rating).
Store in File Tags (when possible). Store the information in the file tag so that it can be read by other software (if supported) or by Media Center upon import.
Calculated Data - Template. A field "calculated" from other fields. Like "[Artist] - [Album]" for example. You can use any combination of letters and other non-calculated fields. Field names (in brackets) will be replaced by their corresponding value.
