Your replies are already helping my understanding - thanks! I've made some progress. I have re-read the quick help but I'm still a unclear of a few things tag and metadata related.
1) I see how you can modify what you see in the album view via the preferences section, but I'm not sure if you can set or change a tag value? Perhaps for the case an attribute value is not set? For example, when I look at the library in terms of Tags, I can see things like 10cc for the Artist but no corresponding 10cc for Album on the RHS of the screen. Does that mean the album tag is blank? I'm not sure how/where the tags are collected/generated and if tags are equivalent to metadata. I assume much of this mist be in the music files if not in the folder where the music resides.
2) When you talk about the cover art being the last one in a folder, how would I do this in Linux? Can I just use the touch command to have it with the latest modification date? I used Linux for 30 years but I never considered file ordering. How mad is that. I've checked one album where there was a cover.jpg and the art work wasn't picked up still.
3) Also, when I was looking at the advanced search, there doesn't seem to be any way to clear the effect of it except. I do see the clearing of the fields. In my case to be able to see all the albums again, I told it to search using Folder=USB.
Thanks again. Sorry to be a pain - Regards Tom.
