Collections and Volumes

[Note that Collections and Volumes are deprecated features which are bound to be removed and replaced soon]

Collections and Volumes enables you to create a hierarchical structure which you can use to organize your music collection.

Collections and Volumes is an optional feature for people who wish to create a custom library structure. By default, Helium Music Manager automates this process by creating one default Collection, containing one default Volume.

What is a Collection?

A Collection can be seen as a container which can hold one or more Volumes.

You can create as many Collections as you like. By default, one Collection will be created in the default library.

For example, you might to wish to create a Collection for your vinyl records and another collection for your CDs.

What is a Volume?

A Volume is another form of container which is always contained within a parent Collection. Volumes in Helium Music Manager are the containers points to a specific path on your computer or storage device. No two Volumes can point to the same storage location since Volumes depend on the physical location of you files.

For example, you might wish to have separate volumes for your lossless format albums (e.g. FLAC or WAV files) and for your lossy format files (e.g. MP3).

Note:

Collections and Volumes are tightly connected to the physical folders on your computer. This means that if you want to use one Volume for each decade for example, you need to have correponding folder this this purpose, like:

D:\My Music\1990s
D:\My Music\2000s

You could then connect each folder (decade) to its own Volume.
