Display Configuration

You can customize the color theme, font size and other display options from Preferences

In addition, you can change following from the application menu

  • Change the overall Zoom factor
  • Enter/exit full-screen mode
  • Toggle various user-interface elements

A special option, which is available on Windows only, is the ability to hide the menu bar. When you choose to do so, the ALT button is used for toggling the menu bar on and off.

Drag-and-drop

The application supports bi-directional drag-and-drop. Meaning, that you can drag files and folders on top of the application and (audio) files out of the application window.

It’s possible to drop audio files onto the application to launch a similarity search, or folders. The latter will convert the folder into a library, or, if already indexed, open the library.
