  Step 1:  Open Track Info

Open a Report
It's great to be able to have your favorite songs in MP3 format, ready to play at a moment's notice. But keeping track of all the information that goes with each song can be hard. Track Info is a component that allows you to view and edit information about a song. If you're really into your music collection, you'll love this. To open the Track Info component, click Info on the Player. You can click the Info button again to close Track Info.
  Step 2:  Check Out the Controls

Open a Report
Track Info has five buttons that control it: the Lyrics button (which displays the songs lyrics, if they are available on your PC), the Notes button (which displays liner notes, if they are available on your PC), the Bios button (which displays artist biographies, if they are available on your PC), the Tag button (which opens an editor so you can enter or modify info about the track), the Buy CD (which takes you to a web site where you can buy the CD the track comes from).
  Step 3:  View Some Track Info

Open a Report
To view Lyrics, Notes or Bios, just click the appropriate button. The appropriate information appears in the pane on the Track Info component. If you still have the sample MP3 selected in the Player, and click Bios, you get a biography of Carey Bell.
  Step 4:  View Some Track Info

Open a Report
To view Lyrics, Notes or Bios, just click the appropriate button. The appropriate information appears in the pane on the Track Info component. If you still have the sample MP3 selected in the Player, and click Bios, you get a biography of Carey Bell.
  Step 5:  Change the Track's Tag

You add or change track information by editing the MP3 file's tag. Click the Tag button to see the Tag Song File dialog box. It allows you to edit all sorts of information about the track, including Track Title, Lead Artist, Album, Genre, Tempo, Lyrics, Notes, Bios, and even cover art. One thing to note is that many of the information types have check boxes next to them. Set those boxes, and MusicMatch Jukebox will apply the same info to all other songs from the same CD. That can save you some real time.
