M-Audio Torq 2.0 [27/171] Searching specific database folders

Chapter 4: Accessing Your Music

Torq 2.0 User Guide

Adding Multiple Folders

You may find that one folder will contain many folders that you’d like to add to the Database. A great example

of this is when your music is automatically sorted by a program like Apple iTunes. Typically, there will be a

folder for each artist in your collection, and each of these folders will contain individual folders for each al-

bum by that artist. Therefore, if you want to add all the music by this particular artist to the Database, you ac-

tually need to add all of the individual album folders.

To add folders, including their subfolders, to the Database:

1 Locate the folder containing the sub-folders you want to add.

2 Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) the folder and select “Add folder to Database Recursively.” Torq will auto-

matically add the folder, along with all its sub-folders, to the Database.

Adding Folders from Your OS

If you’d prefer, you can add folders to the Database by dragging them from your operating system into the

Torq Browser. You can do this using either Explorer for Windows or Finder for Mac.

To add folders from your OS:

1 Find your desired folders using the tools of your operating system (Explorer or Finder).

2 Click and drag the folder from the operating system onto the Database.

3 Release the mouse button and the folder will be added to the Database.

4 You can also include the subfolders by holding the Ctrl key (Alt key on Mac) while dragging the folder into

the Database.

Searching Specific Database Folders

Clicking on the Database heading will display every song contained in the Database in the File List to the right

of the Index.

If you would like to confine your search to only a particular folder within the Database:

1 Click the (+) in front of the Database heading. The list will expand to show all of the folders contained in

the Database.

2 Click on one of the folders. The File List will be updated to only show the songs contained in that specific

folder.

You can stop this process at any time while it is running by right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) on the folder,

and choosing “Stop Addition to DB.”
