You will receive a green box at the end of the recording progress bar if the song has recorded successfully. The time it takes to record a track varies depending on your system and your selected record settings. These settings let you determine whether you will record a Windows Media Audio or MP3 file, compression rate, file name and much more. See the section: I-JAMTip How to

The Music Library is a database of all the songs that you have either recorded or downloaded. The Music library can be viewed in the Music Library Screen.

>How do I add music to the Music Library?

Digital music files recorded from audio CDs using MusicMatch Jukebox will automatically be added to the Music Library. The same is true for files downloaded from the Internet, assuming you have MusicMatch Jukebox installed and selected as your default digital audio player.

To add previously recorded or downloaded digital music files to your Music Library, click the "Add" button at the top of the Music Library screen to browse your hard drive for the files.

>How do I sort my music?

The Music Library is a powerful organization tool, great for easy creation of playlists. You can sort your music in a variety of ways by clicking on the leftmost category heading to select a sorting method in standard folder view, for example 'View by Artists' or 'View by Albums'. The default setting will be 'View by Song Name' (listed as All Tracks in the right click options).

You can have as many as 6 additional sub-categories showing at once and any category can easily be modified by right clicking the category header and selecting one of the 17 sorting options available. Left click any category heading to view that category's contents in alphabetical order.
