This article describes how to use the Zune software to edit metadata information about music and video content in your Zune collection.
The Zune software offers several ways to edit the metadata that is used to categorize audio and video files in your collection. If items in your collection are not tagged correctly, you can edit the metadata for the collection by using the following methods:
- Edit: Right-click an audio or video file, and then click Edit. A dialog box will appear. Options that are associated with the kind of file that you have selected will be available to enable you to update information about the content by using a combination of drop-down menus and text.
- Find album info: Right-click an album or multiple albums, and then select Find album info. The search box that opens lets you search online for album and artist information. Follow the steps, and then click FINISH to update the information in your collection.
- Update album art: Right-click an album, and then select Update album art. You will be prompted to select a file on your computer to use as the album art for your selection.
- Drag content: You can also drag one piece of content onto another to automatically update information about the selected files. Depending on which collection view you are using and the content that you have selected, you can update the file metadata in the following ways:
Dragging behavior in Artists Collection view:- Dragging ARTIST onto artist updates the source artist title to the destination artist title.
- Dragging ALBUM onto artist updates the source album artist name to the destination artist name
- Dragging SONG onto artist updates the song artist to the destination album artist.
Dragging behavior in Genre Collection view:- Dragging ALBUM onto genre updates the album genre but leaves the track genre intact.
- Dragging SONG onto genre updates the song genre only.
- Dragging GENRE onto genre updates all songs and albums that have the source genre to the target genre.
