Listening to Music Files Normally, the Wave/PC™ application monitors your hard drive for new music files and adds them to the Wave/PC database. If you do not want this to happen automatically, remove the check mark beside "Automatically check for new music files." If this box is not checked, you will need to click the Scan hard drive for music button to search for new music files. Figure 26 New files found dialog box When new music files are found they are automatically added to the database (default setting). To have the Wave/PC application ask if you want them added first, place a check beside "Ask me before adding new music files to the database." The next time new music files are found, the dialog box in Figure 26 opens. Select the music files you want to add to the database and click OK. Multiple files can be selected using Control-click and Shift-click operations. Click Cancel to close the window without adding any new files. The information shown in the music finder is stored in two places: (1) In the music finder database, and (2) in ID3 tags within individual music files. Editing information in the music finder window only changes the music finder database. The ID3 tags are kept up to date automatically if the "Automatically update music files upon editing" option is selected. If not selected, the setup window provides an Update music files... button to manually perform the update. The "Store my music in:" edit box displays the default directory path to the storage location of recorded CD tracks. You can change the location by modifying the path string or by clicking the Browse button and navigating your way to a new location. 34 April 12, 2001 PDF259774_00
