The Browse by Folder section allows browsing of songs by their folder structure, this is part of the Status Report but also part of the report created by other tasks such as Fix Songs as well.
Just click on a folder to see the folders and music files within it. The folder will show an image if there is a cover.jpg or cover.png file in the folder, (these can be added by SongKong as part of its artwork matching section of Fix Songs) otherwise it will display as a folder icon
For example here we clicked on the Pink Floyd folder, because the music is organized in the form album artist/album we now see a series of folders representing albums.
Each folder comes with a series of labels:
- How many files are in the folder?
- How many songs have been matched to a MusicBrainz album?
- How many songs have been matched to a Discogs album?
- If seeing report as part of any task that modifies the files such as Fix Songs task there is also an Updated label so you can easily see all folders that have been updated or not updated
If all the songs in a folder are matched to the same MusicBrainz or Discogs album the label is green (success). But if only some songs have not been matched, or songs in one folder have been matched to multiple different albums the badge is orange (warning), this should not usually happen so if it does it is worth investigating.
The counts are rolled-up, so for example if you have an Artist folder containing two Album folders then the Artist folder will total the counts of both Album folders. If each Album folder had a full MusicBrainz match then the artist MusicBrainz match will be green, but if either did not have full match then the MusicBrainz match badge will be orange.
So here the The Wall folder shows a count of 26 songs, and if we select it we see there are two subfolders, each representing a disc because it is a two disc album, and the count of each subfolder is 13 (13 + 13 =26)
Now if you have followed recommendation to run the Status Report on your songs for the first time without running Fix Songs there are unlikely to be any matches to MusicBrainz or Discogs. But these section of report is also created when you run Fix Songs and other tasks.
