Previously songs were tagged with MusicMatch specific tags, which would effectively 'hide' the ID3 tag.

From the release of version 3.1 on we fully support ID3 tagging and MusicMatch tags should be converted to ID3 tags. This is a simple process and can be done from the Music library Settings screen. For more information on converting ID3 tags, see the program's Help File.

Player:

One of the main components of MusicMatch Jukebox is the Player screen. As you might suspect, it is the MP3 player portion of the software and is used primarily in conjunction with the Playlists you create. However the Player also supports playing Windows Media files and has an integrated CD Player.

Integrated CD Player:

MusicMatch Jukebox 4 has the enhanced feature of an integrated CD Player, meaning you can play MP3 and Windows Media files as well as playing your audio CD's through the MusicMatch program. This is especially useful to preview tracks before you record them.

Initialization Process:

The first time you attempt to record a track, your system will auto-configure itself for optimum recording. During this initialization process, the program samples the record process of a track and determines the default record settings for optimal recording on your system. Again, this is standard and will happen automatically and you will only be required to OK the initialization dialog.

Playlist:

One of the main components of MusicMatch Jukebox is the Playlist screen. The Playlist screen is where you create playlists for playback. You can also save your playlists for future sessions and all saved playlists will be listed in this screen as well. Saved playlists will have a file extension of .m3u.

Playlist:

Create personalized playlists from the MP3s and Windows Medias in your digital music collection. Double-click the song(s) you want to listen to in your Music Library and they will compile in the Playlist screen as a playlist. Save playlists for use in future sessions. Saved playlists will have a file extension of .M3U.

Art View

Tag your tracks with album art and view the cover art while the track is playing. From the Options menu, choose View/Show Media Window and view the album art in a separate larger window. Click and drag the corner of the Media Window to increase its size proportionally.

Track Info:

One of the main components of MusicMatch Jukebox is the Track Info screen. The Track Info screen allows you to view song lyrics, artist bios, etc. while your tracks are playing. The Track Info screen is interactive in terms of adding information to song files, via the tagging feature.

AutoDJ:

AutoDJ is a Playlist compiling feature unique to MusicMatch. The AutoDJ feature works in conjunction with the tagging
