In this article you'll learn the ways of the music application and learn how to manage your music. __TOC__ =How it Arranges Music= Every music file uses '''tags''' to define what it is. There are a few types of tag that are important as for using the music app: * '''Title''' (includes the title of the track shown in the music app) * '''Album''' (includes the name of the album shown in the music app) * '''Artist''' (includes the name of the artist shown in the music app) * '''Cover''' (includes the image file of the cover art shown in the music app) {note}'''Note:''' Firefox OS uses these tags to organise the music app.<br><br> '''Warning:''' The folder structures and file names on your SD-card do not affect the music app in any way and are therefore only for your own visibility.{/note} =What to Do= If your tags are not managed the way you want them to be, you can easily '''edit''' them using an '''mp3 tagger'''. You can use [http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ MP3tag] or any other mp3 tagger of your choice for this task. #Install the mp3 tagger software. #Open the folder your music is located in. #Edit the tags like shown below.<br><br>[[Image: mp3 tagger]]If you don't have an image to use as a cover I suggest to enter the album name on [http://images.google.com Google Images] and download the desired image file. Supported image formats are PNG and JPEG.{note}'''Note:''' Every track can have it’s own cover, but the cover of the track tagged as '''first''' in the album is used as the cover shown in the album gallery.<br><br>'''Warning:''' Make sure to use a square image, because else it gets scaled to fit the square frame and that may not look very good. That means it should be the same '''width''' as '''height'''. For example image size '''500x500'''. {/note} #Save your changes. You can also exit the mp3 tagger once finished. #Disconnect the device from your computer, because you're not able to use the music app while being connected. And you are all done!<br> It should be looking something like this.<br> [[Image: album gallery covers]] {note}'''Note:''' Music files of the OGG format containing cover art are currently not shown in the music app.<br><br> '''Warning:''' The music app does not use any loose images you put into your album folder. These images are loaded into your image gallery though. So you should delete those if you don't want them cluttering your [[How To Use The Gallery Application on Firefox OS|gallery app]].{/note} [[Template:ShareArticle|link=http://mzl.la/13BsVJd]]
