Using the Favorites folder

Select the Favorites folder () or choose Favorites from the Address Bar to view the contents of the Favorites folder. This folder contains shortcuts to folders that you use often.

Tip: Favorites are saved in the following folders:

•Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Sony\Sound Forge Pro\10.0\ExplorerFavorites.txt

•Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Sony\Sound Forge Pro\10.0\ExplorerFavorites.txt

The file is saved whenever you close the Explorer window or exit the application. You can copy the file to different computers or user accounts to migrate Favorites settings.

To see this file, you must have the Show hidden files and folders radio button selected on the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel in Windows.

Adding a folder to the Favorites folder

1.Browse to the folder you want to add.

2.Right-click the folder and choose Add Folder to My Favorites from the shortcut menu to create a shortcut to the folder.

Removing a folder from the Favorites folder

1.Select the Favorites folder.

2.Right-click the folder you want to delete and choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

Note: Deleting a folder from Favorites deletes only the shortcut to the folder; the target folder is unaffected.

Obtaining or editing CD information

If Sound Forge can access information about a track or CD (either from the file or CD itself or from a local cache), it automatically reads and displays this information when you insert a CD or browse your computer. However, if this information is not available, the software can retrieve information over the Internet from Gracenote® MusicID™.

Once Sound Forge obtains information from Gracenote MusicID, it is saved to a local cache so the information appears more quickly the next time the tracks are displayed.

If the software cannot connect to the Gracenote Media Database and the appropriate CD information is not available on your computer, the tracks are simply listed numerically. In this case, you can edit CD information and submit it to the Gracenote Media Database.

Notes:

•Using Gracenote MusicID requires an active Internet connection.

•For more information on using Gracenote MusicID, refer to the Gracenote Web site at http://www.gracenote.com/company_info/FAQ/ FAQs/.

Locating matching CD information using Gracenote

1.Insert a CD in your drive.

2.Browse to the CD and click the MusicID button () in the Explorer window.

Gracenote MusicID attempts to obtain matching CD information and displays artist, album, and track data:

•If the service locates an exact match, this information automatically appears. No additional action is necessary.

•If the service locates multiple possible matches, the Match dialog appears. Proceed to step 3.
