CD/DVD Label Maker Help - Purchase - Download - Acoustica
This dialog lets you type in and edit your tracks listing – either your song list, for an audio CD, or your chapter list, for a DVD. If you’re editing an audio CD, you can also import your tracks from a playlist and save yourself all that tedious typing.
To type in the contents for a field in the contents list – "Song Title", "Artist", "Chapter", etc. – click on the field and start typing. Once the contents list has the keyboard focus, you can also move from field to field by using the arrow keys or the tab key. There are several other ways to get a field into edit mode. Here’s the lot:
press the Enter key: selects the text in the field and puts the caret at the end of the text
press F2: selects the text in the field and puts the caret at the end of the text
click the Edit button: selects the text in the field and puts the caret at the end of the text
double-click the text field: selects the text in the field and puts the caret at the end of the text
just start typing: replaces the existing contents of the field with whatever you’re typing
If the contents of a field are too wide to fit in the available space in the tracks list, you’ll see a row of periods, like so: … at the end of the field. If you drag the mouse cursor over the field and let it sit there, a tooltip will pop up that displays the unabbreviated contents of the field.
You can adjust the widths of the different columns in the tracks list by clicking on the borders between the columns and dragging them. This doesn’t affect how wide the columns will be on any actual labels.
Like many another dialog, this one has a bunch of buttons. Here’s what they all mean:
Add Row: adds a new row to the end of the list.
Remove: removes the currently selected row.
Edit: lets you edit the text of the currently selected item.
Move Up: moves the currently selected row one row up.
Move Down: moves the currently selected row one row down.
Import: this button will only be visible if you’re working on an audio CD label. It lets you import tracks from a playlist file. When you burn a CD, you usually create a playlist file that lists the songs you burned to the CD. Acoustica CD Label Maker can read most types of playlist files, including the .cbs files generated by our own Acoustica MP3 CD Burner, and automatically create a song list for you.
Read CD: this button will only be visible if you’re working on an audio CD label and you have a CD drive attached to your computer. It will attempt to get tracks information from a CD in your CD drive. If your CD has an entry in cdplayer.ini or cdburner.ini, the program will use it; if not, it will try to look up a tracks listing for your CD over the Internet.
Done: closes the window.
Display tracks on current label: If you check this box, your tracks will be displayed on whichever label you’ve got currently visible. If you uncheck it, they’ll be hidden.
