Hướng dẫn sử dụng Music Jukebox của Mede8er

After the incredible success or the V2 Movie Jukebox the boys at Mede8er felt that it was time to offer a Music Jukebox that would work with multi-codec music collections and across home networks. We are proud to state that this dream has been achieved and we are sure that you will get much pleasure from this new functionality. As the Jukebox relies on the embedded Music files 'Tag' information and correct image sizing for its functionality, we feel that it is critical that you spend the time to correctly Tag your music collection. Please read this this User Guide for correct Music Jukebox operation.

******************

Basic MP3 direct Scanner Operation

This is not a general scanner like the default Realtek included on the Home Page so note that the Music collection cannot be mixed with Video content so please separate these. Navigate to the root folder of your Music Collection and press the 'Menu' button and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. Press the 'Blue' button on the remote to go to the Favourite page. On the Favourite page select the Icon Shortcut of the Music Collection you just made and press the 'Menu' button and select the 'Scan Folder' Option - the firmware will automatically detect the music files and then scan all the MP3 tags and build a music.db (music database) file and save it to the root folder of your collection. All non MP3 tags will be ignored. Your Music Collection can be in a nested folder arrangement.
Approx scanning time = 48 sec /1000 tracks


Multi Codec Scanner Operation











This is not a general scanner like the default Realtek included on the Home Page so note that the Music collection cannot be mixed with Video content so please separate these.

A free Windows PC program called Tagscanner together with a special Mede8er Script is used to scan the music collection and to export the Tag information to a file named TrackList.xml. Once you have installed Tagscanner then download the Mede8er Script and copy it to the 'Script' folder in Tagscanner ie C:\Program Files\tagscan5.1.610\scripts

If you cannot get Tagscanner to install for some reason you can try the Portable Version Remember you still need to install the Mede8er Script.

Tagscanner User Manual by Narayan Aras

Once you have completed using Tagscanner to tag and arrange your music collection you must export the tag information to a file called Tracklist.xml. Go to 'List Maker' page in Tagscanner and select 'ALL' the files in your scanned collection and then select the Mede8er script on the right hand side and then select 'export' . The Tracklist.xml will be saved to the root of your Music Collection.

In X2 GUI Navigate to the root folder of your Music Collection and press the 'Menu' Button and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. Press the Blue button on the remote to go to the Favourite page. On the Favourite page select the Icon Shortcut of the Music Collection you just made and press the 'Menu' button and select the 'Scan Folder' Option - the firmware will automatically detect the Tracklist.xml file and then scan it and build a music.db (music database) file and save it to the root folder of your collection. Your Music Collection can be in a nested folder arrangement.
Approx scanning time = 20 sec /1000 tracks

Tagscanner is a very powerful Music Tag editing program (the best in our opinion) written by Sergey Serkov and it will allow you to arrange/tag and clean up your music collection in order to get the best out of the Mede8er Jukebox. Sergey has put huge effort in developing and maintaining this program. We therefore strongly suggest you make some financial contribution for his efforts on the Tagscanner Website.


Root of Collection

The 'Root' of the music collection is the folder that will be scanned and linked to the Favourites Page
The music collection 'Root' will contain the Tracklist.xml (if used), Music.db and m3u files eg

Music Collection <------------------ Root Folder
Music Collection/Music Folder1
Music Collection/Music Folder2
Music Collection/Music Folder3
etc
Music Collection/TrackList.xml
Music Collection/Music.db
Music Collection/Playlist1.m3u
Music Collection/Playlist2.m3u
etc



Tagscanner Screens
1. Music Renamer -- Copy Music Tag info to Filename

2. Tag Editor -- Edit the Music tag information

Tag Processor --

3. A) Get Tag Data from Online Source
B) Generate Tag from Filename
C) Tag Fields Mixer
D) Text File to Tag

4.Export XML file

Music Box Sets / Double Albums

For Music Box Sets or Double Albums you have two options

a) Different 'Album' name for each CD (each CD in their own folder)

b) Same 'Album' name for all tracks (tracks for all Albums in one folder)
& insert a prefix in the 'Filename' for each CD
eg Disc1- xxxxxx Disc2- xxxxx for the sorting order.


Album Artist Field

To avoid the database mixing up the same Album name by different Artists we suggest you use the 'AlbumArtist' tag Another advantage of using the 'Albumartist' tag is that the Artist will be displayed after the Album name on the 'All' page and any Album based page.

Mixed Artist in a Album

For mixed Artists in a Album you must add 'Various' (or whatever name you want) to the 'AlbumArtist' tag for each track. If you do not then each Track will become a Album.


Embedded Album Art

IMPORTANT: If you are using embedded art it should be optimized otherwise the V2 GUI can be very slow.
We suggest you use Sanse Mp3 Art Sizer.

The preferred method is to use a image named folder.jpg in each folder. The folder.jpg will take priority over embedded art and will also show on the Screensaver.

Ideal image size is 230 x 230 pixels at 72 dpi in jpg format saved with compression setting of 85%.

a) For easy Batch processing we suggest a free program called Fastone Photo Resizer
b) For normal image manipulation, correct aspect ratio cropping and resizing of the folder.jpg we suggest a free program called Photoscape Photoscape demo




Suggested 'Filename' naming convention

We suggest you use the following 'Filename' naming convention (This is not compulsory but suggested)

a) Normal Albums

%track% - %title% - %album% - %artist%

b) Double Albums / Box Sets

Disc1 - %track% - %title% - %album% - %artist%
Disc2 - %track% - %title% - %album% - %artist%
or
CD1 - %track% - %title% - %album% - %artist%
CD2 - %track% - %title% - %album% - %artist%
etc

You can use Tagscanner 'Music Renamer' function to do this. Note you must firstly make sure that all the Tag Info is updated and correct before you do the Filename renaming.



Arranging your collection

Your collection can be located on your local Hard Drive, USB Drive or Network Share. The advantage of using a Network share is that you can access one central collection with multiple Mede8er's thus making it ideal for a Multi-Room setup.

If you have a big music collection it makes sense to split it up into main categories. This gives you the advantage of being able to better manage your collection in smaller bits as you can still scan the total collection with the added advantage of separate separate shortcut links on the Favourite Page

So in this example you would have a main folder with sub folders

eg
Music Backup_all
Music Backup_all/Flac
Music Backup_all/Hits_etc
Music Backup_all/Music

You can make a Favourite shortcut link to each of these folders.

Favourite Links and Scanning

Before you can 'Scan' a folder you must add it to the Favourite Page. Navigate to the Folder in the Media Library and focus on the folder you want to add and then press the 'Menu' button on the remote and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. The Favourite link will be created and if successful a confirmation 'tick' will be displayed top left of the screen. If you get a 'x' then it means the link already exists or the link cannot be made.

Press the 'Blue' button on the remote to go to the Favourite Page. Focus on the Favourite Shortcut and press the 'menu' button and you see options



Scan Folder
- Scan the folder to make a Mede8er database (Music.db).
Remove - Remove the Favourite Link. This option just removes the link and does not delete the source files.
Genre - Change the default folder image into a Genre artwork image for the Favourite Link.
Lock - Lock the Favourite Link so that it is Pin Code Protected.
Unlock - Unlock a 'Locked' Favourite Link.


If you get a warning message "Set NAS to 'off' for Scan" then you must first switch 'off' the NAS function in the Setup Menu and then scan the collection.

Focus on a Album or Track and press the 'Green' button on the Remote Control and the QPL icon will be added to the Album or Track. To remove a QPL just focus on the Album or Track and press the 'Green' button and the QPL icon will be removed.

Once you are happy with your QPL selection pres the 'Enter' button and the QPL list will be loaded and you can now select the first track you want to play and the press 'Enter'.

Once you are happy with your Playlist selection press the 'Menu' button and the screen will open and you will see a option 'Save Playlist'. Select this option and a text dialogue screen will open allowing you to rename the Playlist. The Playlist will be saved to the 'Root' folder of your collection.

If you use a folder.jpg image in each folder with max size of 250 x 250 pixel (recommended size is 230 x 230 pixel) it will be used in the Screensaver together with Album Tag information. For normal image manipulation, correct aspect ratio cropping and resizing of the folder.jpg we suggest a free program called Photoscape
Photoscape demo

The main benefit of Music Jukebox is it's database, allowing seaches to find the music you want. This does require a lot of work.
It is possible to use it in a similer way to a Folder Player..when you scroll or alpha jump to a Virtual Folder containg an album..and play it...with Tag data displayed. This still requires Tags..but it dosn't matter if you have 4 versions of a band name, or 15 versions of a genre name..caused by the fact you have used diffeent ways to tag your music. You just tag enough to get artist/album sorting to work.

To create a useful Virtual Folder Player it's better to use Tagscanner and an alterative script which sorts albums by Artist. That is attached to this post:-
http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,8403.msg53170.html#msg53170

When you start Jukebox (using the standard instructions) you will start will the All display. This is the only display you need..ignore the Menu button and it's database search function at first.

You can now scroll through the Albums..or use Alpha Jump to jump to Artists..although not tagging so that each artist has only one version of the name may spread them about a bit.

You can still use QPL from All..either by selecting whole albums..or using Preview to select tracks.


Hopefully this will get you going quicker..and then you can try using the Menu..and see what it can do if you Tag using coherant data.

Sẽ dịch sớm cho anh em xem
