Introduction to the Track Filter

The Track Filter is used to filter out tracks shown in the track list. This is useful when you have many of tracks in the track list and just want to show tracks which contain certain information that you are interested in.

Helium Music Manager comes with two different versions of the track filter, one divided into three vertical lists and one which is more similar to a query filter.

The version divided into three vertical lists is default.

Using the Track Filter (Simple version)

1. Show the Track Filter by clicking View | Track Filter from the main menu.
2. Select a entry in the leftmost column. The middle column will now display tracklist entries matching the entry selected in the leftmost column.
3. Select a entry in the middle column. The rightmost column will now be updated to show entries from the tracklist only matching the selections in the leftmost and the middle columns.
4. Select a entry in the rightmost column to display tracklist entries which matches the selections in all three columns.
