When you finish
You will have a working sample and a clear way to review files. This guide prepares the review; it does not run an organization operation.
Before you start
- Access to the folders you want to review.
- An independent backup that you have checked.
- A small set of files you can recognize and listen to.
What to review
Identify the source
Note which folder holds the originals and which part of the collection you want to review. Start with a small sample whose contents you know before including whole folders.
Separate preparation from the final collection
Decide which music needs review and which is already part of your Library. The Workspace is for preparing material; the Library holds the final collection.
Check what would change
Before confirming an operation, review the files, source, destination, and whether they will be copied or moved. If there are conflicts or an unavailable path, stop and clarify the outcome before continuing.
Review the sample's result
Check that you can locate the expected files and that their information matches your decision. Expand the work only after understanding the result and how to recover the originals.
What happens to your files
Reading this guide does not modify files. In the application, copying keeps the source; moving changes its location, and saving metadata can modify the selected files.
If you need to recover
If the sample's result is unexpected, do not expand the operation. Keep the originals and your backup. Recovery depends on the action taken; not every action has the same undo behavior.
If something does not fit
If a folder is missing, check that the drive is connected and accessible. Do not substitute another path without checking which music it contains. See the Organizer guide for setting up a hierarchy and its rules.
