Categorizing songs in the Catalog

With MixMeister, you can group songs into mini-catalogs called categories. You can use categories to identify the format of songs (such as Techno, Trance, Party, or Rock) or to group songs for a particular purpose (such as Aerobics Workout, Dinner Music, Party Warm Up, or My Favorites).

To create a category

  1. In the Catalog, right-click the song you want to assign to a new category.

  2. Choose Manage Categories, and then choose New Category.

  3. Type the name of the new category, and click OK.
    MixMeister adds this category to the list of categories, and assigns the selected song to the category.

To assign a song to a category

  1. In the Catalog, right-click the song you want to assign to a category.

  2. Choose Manage Categories.
    A check mark appears next to any category to which the song is already assigned.

  3. Select the category you’re adding the song to.

Tip  You can also assign a song to a category by right-clicking it in the Playlist.

To view the list of songs assigned to a category

  1. At the top of the Catalog, click the down arrow next to the Show Catalog Category box. (The default value in this box is Entire Catalog.)

  1. Select a category from the list that appears.
    The Catalog now shows only those songs assigned to the category you picked.

Tip  To see the complete Catalog again, click Entire Catalog in the Show Catalog Category box.

To remove a song from a category

  1. In the Catalog, make sure you’re viewing either the Entire Catalog or the particular category you want to remove a song from.

  2. Right-click the song you want to remove, and choose Manage Categories.
    A check mark appears next to any category to which the song is assigned.

  3. Select the checked category from which you want to remove the song.

Caution! If you delete a song while viewing a category, you are removing the song from the entire Catalog, not just the current category.

Tip  You can also delete a song from a category by right-clicking it in the Playlist.
