iPod: The Missing Manual (Missing Manuals)

 <  Day Day Up  >  

Music tastes evolve and change, and hard drives get full. If you find yourself in either situation, or just feel like doing a little cleanup, you can remove tracks from your collection with a couple of clicks.

Click the song you wish to delete (or Ctrl+click to select several), and then click the Remove button at the top of the My Library window. MusicMatch asks if you're sure you want to delete the track, and gives you the option of erasing the song from your computer altogether (Figure 5-9).

Figure 5-9. MusicMatch alerts you when you click the Remove button to delete tracks from your library. Turn on the checkbox if you want to erase it from your hard drive, as opposed to just removing its listing in MusicMatch. (Right-clicking the song or album title and selecting Remove Track(s) is another way to dump songs.)

NOTE

If you click a track to play it, and all you get is a lousy error message babbling about " path /track could not be found," you may have moved a music file out of its original folder on your hard drive. Fortunately, you can fix it right away. Right-click the faulty track and, from the shortcut menu, choose Repair Broken Links. MusicMatch Jukebox Plus goes on a hunt for busted file paths and gives you the option to fix or remove broken links.
