This page describes the Automatic
Editing feature of WACHandler that was introduced in version 2.1.
Automatic Editing (or just Auto-Edit) in WACHandler allows changing
either the Artist, Album, Genre or Album+Artist information of one or
more tracks by just dragging and dropping it/them on a desired
information node in the Tree.
For example, imagine a Track with the following information :
Title
= Run like Hell
Artist
= Pink Floyd
Album
= The Wall
Genre
= Rock
If this track is dragged 8with the left mousebutton) and then dropped
on a node under Albums, let's say an Album namned "The Wall (live)",
the Album info of the track will automatically be changed to "The Wall
(live)".
An example on editing both Artist and Album at the same drop is when a
track is dropped on an Album name under an Artist node, imgaine a
structure like this :
Albums
Artists
ABBA
AC/DC
Bangles
Cranberries
Pink Floyd
U2
The Joshua Tree
War
Genres
All
tracks
Run like Hell
Now, if the "Run like Hell" track is dropped on the "War" node, which
is under the "U2" node, the track info will automatically be changed to
have Album = War and Artist = U2.
If the track is dropped on the "U2" node, only the Artist is changed to
"U2", the album name will remain "The Wall".
This behaviour can of course be turned of from the Linked & Auto
Edit tab in the Settings window :
Note : Auto-Edited tracks does not
trig a Linked Edit !
