NS7 Reference Manual - v1.1 - Numark

Browse
To browse through your files, just scroll up or down with the SCROLL KNOB or FWD and BACK buttons on the NS7.
Clicking Browse in the software will open the Browse panel above the Main Library. The filters are GENRE, BPM, ARTIST, and
ALBUM. You can narrow your search by selecting the specific genre, BPM, artist, or album title you’re looking for, and the software will
show the results on the Main Library window. You can move between the four filters with the FWD / BACK buttons in the NS7’s
Navigation Controls, the computer keyboard, or by clicking with the mouse.
COLUMNS
The view of your Library can be customized to show any of the columns listed below:
Album Filename Remixer
Artist Genre Sampling Rate
Bitrate Grouping Size
BPM Label Track
Comment Length Year
Composer Location
Clicking on the triangle in the upper-right hand corner of the Track Information Window will display this list of columns so you can select
which to show or hide. You can resize columns by grabbing their edges with the mouse and dragging them to the width you want. You
can also edit some of these fields (see "Editing ID3 Tags" under the TAGGING section).
ICONS
The column at the far left shows the status of each track. Examples of these icons are below.
The software has detected some corruption in the file. If possible, re-encode the MP3.
The track cannot be found. Most likely the file has been renamed or moved.
The track has been imported from the iTunes library.
The track has been imported from iTunes but is corrupt.
The software is trying to import a track from the iTunes library but cannot find the file.
The track is read-only. You can play it but not edit any of its information.
TAGGING
Editing ID3 tags
Much of the information associated with each file can be edited from within the software. Doubleclick
on the field within the Main Library to edit it. Filename, Length, Size, Bitrate, and Sampling
Rate cannot be edited because this information is saved in the file itself. The “Protect Library”
option in the Setup screen must be unchecked to allow edits. (See LIBRARY under the
SOFTWARE SETUP section.)
To re-read file tags for the entire Library, enter the Files panel and click the Rescan ID3 Tags
button. Use this function if you have edited or modified file tags in other software.
Note: Tracks that are read-only have a “locked” icon. You can not edit tags for these files.

You can click the Relocate
Lost Files button in the Files
panel to scan your whole file
system – including external
drives connected to your
computer – for missing files
(with the "?" icon). Doing this
will update the Library with
their new location. You can
also drag and drop a folder
from Finder (Mac) or Explorer
(Windows) onto this button to
search it, and any sub-folders,
for these files.
* ID3 tags contain data about
your tracks and are saved inside
the files themselves. “Genre,”
“Track Name,” and “Artist” are
examples of common tag
information.
