Track Info

Rhapsody's Track Info feature lists information about the currently selected track, and allows you to edit and customize some of that information.

To access Track Info:

  1. Select a track or tracks in My Library, the Mixer, a playlist in your collection, or the CD view of the Display area.
  2. Right-click the track(s).
  3. Select Edit Track Info from the right-click menu.

When album art for a track is available in the Rhapsody database, it is added to the Track Info. You can delete it and add new art from your local drives, or select art for that track if none exists.

Track Info is used for your own Library organization purposes. The data in Track Info can be used by you to sort tracks, and to create AutoPlaylists.
