Filters Section
The MediaBay allows you to refine your file searches.
Media File Attributes
Media file attributes are sets of meta data providing additional information on the file.
The different types of media files have different attributes. For example, .wav audio files have
attributes, such as name, length, size, sample rate, content set, etc., while .mp3 files have
additional attributes, such as artist or genre.
Attribute Filter
Assigning attribute values to your files facilitates organizing your media files. The Attribute filter
allows you to view and edit some of the standard file attributes that are found in your media files.
The Filters section displays all values that have been specified for the displayed attribute
categories. Selecting one of these values displays only the files to which this attribute value is
assigned.
1 Attribute column titles
Allow you to select different attribute categories. If the columns are wide enough, the
number of files that match this criteria is displayed to the right of the value.
2 Attribute values
Displays the attribute values and how often a certain attribute value is available among
your media files.
NOTE
Some attributes are directly linked to each other. For example, for each category value,
there are certain sub-category values available. Changing the value in one of these
attribute columns displays different values in the other column.
