Customizing the Content Pane

You have a number of ways to customize the columns (tags) that appear in the Content pane. What’s more, you can customize the Content pane for each source. The customization you have done for a source (such as a CD or playlist) is remembered and used each time you view that source. You can choose the tags (columns) that are shown for a source by using the following steps:

1. Select the source whose Content pane you want to customize. Its contents will appear in the Content pane.


2. Choose Edit, View Options or press Ctrl+J (Windows) or „+J (Mac). You will see the View Options dialog box. At the top of the dialog box, you see the source for which you are configuring the Content pane. (It is a playlist called Johnny Cash.) You also see all the available columns that can be displayed. If a column’s check box is checked, that column will be displayed; otherwise, it won’t be shown.

3. Check the check boxes next to the columns you want to see.
4. Uncheck the check boxes next to the columns you don’t want to see.
5. Click OK. When you return to the Content pane, only the columns you selected will be shown.
If you can’t see all the columns being displayed, use the horizontal scrollbar to scroll in the Content pane. You can also use the vertical scroll bar to move up and down in the Content pane.
