库源
库是 Rhythmbox 音乐播放器主要的来源，该数据库包含了您导入到 Rhythmbox 音乐播放器中的全部音轨。请注意，库只保存了音乐文件的访问路径，而不是文件自身。
The Library can not only contain music files which are physically on your computer (in your HOME Directory for instance), but it can also contain music files available over remote network services. Some examples of supported network services are:
- Public FTP
- Authenticated FTP
- NFS
- Windows Share
The files imported in the Library are displayed in the track list with the information (like the Artist name or the Album name) stored in the tags embedded on the tracks. Rhythmbox Music Player uses these tags to display the tracks in an organized manner.
Tags can be modified by right-clicking, then choosing and filling in the details on the window that appears.
5.1. 在库中添加音轨
To add tracks to the Library, you can follow these different methods:
- If you want to import several music files located in a folder, choose from the browser bar next to the search field, then select the folder in the file selector and press the button. All the music files located in the folder and its sub-folders will be imported.
- Drag and drop files from the file manager (like Nautilus) over the Rhythmbox window.
如果您启用了目录监视功能(参见Section 14.1.2 ― Music)，存储于所选目录下的所有音乐文件都将被添加到库中。稍后添加的新文件也会被添加。
5.2. 从库中删除音轨
To remove a track from the library but leave it on the disk, right-click on the track and choose . The track and its properties (like rating or the play count) are removed from the Rhythmbox database.
To delete a track from the Library and also from your disk, right-click on the track and choose . The track will be removed in the same way as previous, but the file will be moved in to the file manager Trash.
5.3. 使用搜索查找音轨
Rhythmbox comes with a search function, which enables you to find and filter tracks by using a search term.
Enter some text in the search entry, and as you type, only the tracks that match the text entered will be displayed. The search function does the lookup in all of the tags of the tracks stored in the Library.
To perform a more precise search, you can choose to lookup only in specific tags Artists, Albums or Titles.
5.4. 使用浏览器查找音轨
浏览器是另外一个方便找到音轨的方法。浏览器使用2或者3栏的视图从而让你可以在音乐流派，艺术家和专辑间导航，并只显示符合选定条件的音轨。
First, to display the Browser, select in the tool bar. Select artist, album and genre, and as you choose, only the tracks that match your choice will be displayed in the track list. The criteria on the columns apply from the left to the right.
你可以使用Ctrl键同时在同一类型中选择几个标准。
You can also find from a selected track in the track list, all of the tracks with the same genre, artist or album name. Select a track in the track list, right-click on it, and choose Browse this Genre/Artist/Album. Then the browser will filter the tracks using the criteria chosen.
