Adjust fields in the lower panel

As standard, two of the fields in the lower panel is Index number and Rating. Can I change that to other fields in the same place?

In short: no.

But: It is possible if you modify the template files in Program Files > Music Collector > Templates

but, we do not offer support on this, I can’t tell you which files you need exactly - but if you’re handy with computers and coding, then you will likely be able to know what to do in that folder.

Important: keep a backup of those files before you start tinkering with them.

Again - Impressed over the respons-time, some of the best out there. So thank you. I think (myself at least) that I am pretty good with computers, but don’t think I dare to do this without further instructions. Sad - because these two fields had been nice to put other info at I think, as I don’t use the index number and/or Rating at all. But hey - anyway - thank you for your respons !

All the best.

It’s HTML.. XML.. stuff like that. If you’re familiar, you can back the templates folder up, and then try to tinker with it.. but - yeah, if it goes wrong it gets all borked up :slight_smile:

Thanks for your kind words!

As AJ said, yes, it’s possible, but very messy. I tried to customise it a few years ago and I think I threw up at one point. Couldn’t get my head around it. Best to ignore them and move on if I’m honest :slight_smile:

By co-incidence I was wondering if I could choose ā€˜Original Release Date’ rather than ā€˜Release Date’ as the date presented in this panel. That would be a personal preference. However it is what it is and I remain very happy with Music Collector.

Absolutely agree. Both that it is best to ā€œmove onā€ - and that it is a great program. In fact, it is the best I have tried ever since I had Catraxx back in these days. The combination of rich adjustments, nice view options and - most important for me - a fantastick track view. Unbeatable.
