Mic-in refers to the source from which you intend to record, so just as you select your CD ROM drive to record an audio CD, you would choose Mic-in to record from the microphone input on the sound card. An example would be recording live music.

System Mixer:

A Mixer is an electronic device for controlling and balancing sounds from various sources. Within MusicMatch Jukebox, the System Mixer setting refers to recording a track from the output of the Windows system mixer. The System Mixer setting does not work independently of the Windows system mixer.

Tip: Conversely, you could bypass the Window’s system mixer and use an actual mixer to achieve the same end. In this case you would plug the mixer itself into the Line-in on your sound card, and therefore select Line-in as your recording source from within MusicMatch Jukebox.

Music Library:

One of the main components of MusicMatch Jukebox is the Music Library. This is where you organize your database of MP3 and Windows Media files for easy creation of Playlists.

Add:

Click the Add button in the Music Library screen to browse your hard drive and add existing MP3s and Windows Medias to your Music Library.

Overwrite:

Overwrite generally refers to replacing a file. If you have a saved file, i.e. my.mp3, and then try to save another song with the same name, you can choose to overwrite it, or choose a different name for the file you are saving so that you maintain the original my.mp3.

ID3 Tags:

ID3v2 tags are accepted informally as the standard for tagging MP3 files. These tags offer a flexible and unobtrusive way to add textual information to audio files such as song title, artist name, album title, etc. MusicMatch supports ID3 tags so if you download a track that has ID3 tags already associated with it, you will not have to add that information, though you do have access to modify and add information through the MusicMatch tagging feature.

Tagging Music:

Tagging music refers to adding ID3v2 tags to your MP3 files. ID3 tags can contain a lot of valuable and personalized information including song title; artist name, song lyrics and even album cover art to your song for display while that song is playing. MusicMatch Jukebox offers a very intuitive and easy to use tagging feature and all tagging can be completed simply, in a single screen.

Convert Tags:

MusicMatch support of ID3 tags is relatively new though the concept of tagging songs using MusicMatch Jukebox is not.
