Torq User Guide File List » Chapter 1 9 46 The window to the right of the Browser pane is called the File List. If you have selected a source in the Browser that contains music (such as the Database or an individual folder), the songs contained therein will be listed here. The File List not only shows you the name of the song, but also shows the artist name, album name, track number, genre, and other fields contained within the song's ID3 tag. These additional categories can help you find song with greater efficiency. Note: While ID3 tags will support storage of the information listed above, it is common to find music files with some (if not all) of the ID3 fields blank. Even if the music file does not contain information for all categories, you are still able to fill in the missing info by hand in order to aid in searching through your files. Editing Fields Torq will extract the relevant song information from the file's ID3 tag in order to populate the fields of the File List as described above. You are free to edit the information shown in the File List simply by double-clicking a field and typing in new data. It is important to note that Torq does not update the song's ID3 tag with your edits. Instead, your edited fields are stored in a special file with the same name as the song, but with the extension ". tqd" at the end. By saving your edits to the TQD file, Torq can save your changes much faster (changing an ID3 tag requires re-writing the entire audio file, something that could affect system performance during live use). Additionally, the audio file could become corrupted during the re-write process. So, Torq leaves your precious music files untouched by saving data to the TQD file. Artist/Song Filename Swap Occasionally the ID3 tag information of a song (described above) may contain incomplete song information. In the worst case, the ID3 tag may not even contain the name of the song or the artist who wrote it.
