The Easy Way—Updating Music Information with the MusicInfo Wizard
The MusicInfo Wizard automatically reads all of your audio files and compares them
against an online data source over the Internet, updating your audio files with the most
up-to-date information available.
Depending on the size of your digital audio collection and the speed of your Internet
connection, this process will take some time. Estimated times for changes are given in
the following table:

Approximate time per 1,000

30-40 minutes
(T1 connection)
10-25 minutes
(longer times for
converting ID3 v1 tags
to v2)
Important! Before starting the MusicInfo Wizard, it is recommended that you backup
your digital audio collection.

Hint
To get only album cover icons: If your digital audio collection already has
Music Information (ID3 tags) that you are happy with, you can run the
MusicInfo Wizard in a way to get only the album covers. To do this, run
through the MusicInfo Wizard, but at the last step, click on the Cancel
button. The wizard will have downloaded the album cover icons, but will
not save the Music Information.
1. Start the MusicInfo Wizard
The MusicInfo Wizard can be accessed by clicking on the Wizard button
of the TerraLaunch window.
2. Select the desired folders then click Next >
The wizard will prompt you to select the drive or folders containing the audio files you
wish to update. By default, it searches all drives. Select the drive or folder, then click on
the Next > button.
