Sound Scan Preferences
MP3 CD Burner will constantly be adding new songs into your Music Library found
on your computer’s hard drive. These options allow you to set the parameters of
what gets ‘imported’ into your library. ( Note that there is a big difference in the way
3.0 and 4.0 worked.)
Types of Songs
Click the type and minimum length of the files that you’d like to add. For now, you
can choose to import MP3, WAV, OGG & WMA files. (Note that it only supports
non-DRM protected WMA files.)
Where should the scan for new songs?
This allows you to specify the folders to scan for new songs that you may have
downloaded, created or ripped. (Songs ripped with MP3 CD Burner are
automatically added to the library)
• Search entire computer
MP3 CD Burner will search the rest of your computer for music files. This
includes all hard drives and any networked drives, as well. In this mode, it
searches your entire computer. You can specify directories to not search in
this mode.
o Search network drives
MP3 CD Burner will search any networked drives. You may want to
turn this off if you find that your imports are taking longer and you don’t
really care about searching networked drives.
o Search on my desktop
Your desktop and sub folders on the desktop will be searched for new
music files.
o View Exclude List
This brings a list of directories that you do not want to search for new
songs. Examples would include temporary directories, game folders.
If you want to speed up your search add as many directories as you
can think of, especially larger directories. ( Note that if you had a root
directory such as "C", this will not search C or any folders under C
which might not be the intended result!)
• Search these folders ONLY
This allows you to add directories to search. The sound scan will search
these directories and all subdirectories under them. For example, if all of your
music was in "C:\My Music" in sub-directories such as "C:\My Music\Artist1"
and "C:\My Music\Artist2\", etc., you’d add this "C:\My Music\". The sound
scan would search this folder and all sub-directories. The order is important
and it will start searching in the top directory and finish with the last.
