Sooloos Collections: Advanced Guide Organising and Using a Sooloos Collection The Meridian Sooloos music management and serverr system is highly regarded for its intuitive and welcoming user interface. Unlike other music servers, a Sooloos system does not slow down as more content t is added and, in fact, the larger the collection the t better it will be because we can form more links between the content. On the other hand, no collection is i too small and the system works beautifully with just a handful of discs. The Sooloos Metadata service willl normally provide enough information to allow an average collection to be immediately useful. However some specialised or larger collections can benefit from grooming. This page shows s two larger collections. This document illustrates some of the unique and powerful Sooloos concepts and techniques which are worth understanding before either importing or refining a collection. Classical and other specialised music collections can need some thought; users have different requirements. Page | 4
Working with Sets We can group albums into sets exactly analogous to a CD boxed-set. Sooloos Collections: Advanced Guide The screen shows Page 1 of a Library after we have grouped two album sets (Albinoni Twelve Concertos; ; one by Hogwood and the other by Holliger). Album sets show a small icon in the top left cornerr of the key album. If we select the Hogwood by touching the set cover then we see the screen below. On the right there are two Tabs. ‘By this Artist’ and ‘In this Set’. Normally itt will come up as shown. To break the set apart, press: X Remove for one of the albums. Another function is: Make Key which allows you to pick which album’s cover is shown at the top level (normally [1 of n] but there may be a reason to select another). 1 Albums in sets will be listed in alphabetical orderr of Album Title or numeric order in a multi-disc set. 1 A system restart is necessary before changes to album key are visible.
