Using a Dell DJ MP3 player for field playback of bird songs.

Rev A2, November, 2005

Musicmatch Screen 6 shows a partial library display after assigning a family name to the first two tracks. Selecting a track with a right click will get you to the rename operation where the task of tagging is completed by typing a species name. Repeat, ad nausea.

In my case, I had 9 discs to work through and, needless to say, it took a while! Unfortunately, even more work is ahead. After the raw birds library is in place, now comes the task of creating edited versions of each track to be transferred to the MP3 player.
