About Attributes for Media Files
Attributes for media files 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 like 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 makes it easy to organize the media files. With the
Attribute filter, you can view and edit some of the standard file attributes found in your media
files.
The Filters section displays all values found for a specific attribute. Selecting one of these
values displays a list of files that contain this attribute value.
1. Attribute columns
Let you 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 filter name.
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.
Each attribute column displays only the attribute values found in the selected location.
Applying an Attribute Filter
With the Attribute filter you can quickly find audio files with certain attributes.
To apply an Attribute filter, click on an attribute value.
The Results list is filtered accordingly. Apply more attribute filters to restrict the result
even more.
To find files that match either one or the other attribute, Ctrl/Cmd-click different
attribute values in the same column.
