Introduction

There are three modes you can choose from:

  • all songs mode (the default one)
  • duplicated songs mode
  • untagged songs mode

Modes define which songs will be shown in the library's tree. The alternative modes (non-default ones) are supposed to help you maintain your library.

You can find the mode changer by clicking the 'wrench icon' near library's filter.

All Songs Mode

Nothing special to say here - all songs from the library will be visible in library's tree. This is the default mode.

You can use all other features of library view (filtering, grouping and the age limit feature) in this mode.

This mode is intended for normal everyday usage.

Only Duplicates Mode

In this mode only the songs for which the (artist, album, title) tuple is found more than once in the library will be shown. The feature is case sensitive which means:

  1. those are duplicates:

    • Antimatter - A Dream For The Blind - Lost Control - /!LostControl.mp3
    • Antimatter - A Dream For The Blind - Lost Control - /other/!LostControl.mp3

  2. those are not duplicates (different album's case):

    • Antimatter - a dream for the blind - Lost Control - /!LostControl.mp3
    • Antimatter - A Dream For The Blind - Lost Control - /other/!LostControl.mp3

  3. those are not duplicates (different album):

    • Antimatter - Live - Lost Control - /!LostControl.mp3
    • Antimatter - A Dream For The Blind - Lost Control - /other/!LostControl.mp3

In this mode you can use the grouping and age limit features but you cannot use filtering!

This mode is intended to help you identify those songs which appear more than once on your disk which is a possible waste of space. You can use Clementine's 'Remove from disk' feature to dispose of the unwanted copies.

Only Untagged Mode

In this mode only the songs which have at least one of the (artist, album, title) tags empty will be shown. For example:

  1. this song is considered tagged:

    • Antimatter - Live - Lost Control

  2. this song is considered untagged (missing title):

    • Antimatter - Live -

  3. this song is considered untagged (missing album and title):

    • Antimatter - -

In this mode you can use the grouping and age limit features but you cannot use filtering!

This mode is intended to help you identify those songs which will appear in weird places in the library tree view. You can fill their tags using for example the 'edit tags' dialog, and possibly also it's "autocomplete tags" feature.
