brand new user needing some quick fix advice ! thanks !

[cookas]

Hi everyone, 

Brand new user here. I purchased Touch Jams this week after tinkering with the demo version on and off. I've got a touchscreen PC also so the program works well for it !
 
I am slowly slowly tagging all my music files with correct titles, album art etc etc and that's a process in itself !

Just a few quick things I'm hoping to get some assistance with. 

On the main home screen, with all the album covers, how do I ( or can I at all ) change which album cover I want displayed on that screen ??  For instance I might have 7 Rolling Stones albums in my collection and I would like a specific album cover to be displayed on the main screen rather than than the one that automatically comes up after I import all the files.     Can this be done and how so please ??

Also..... how do I shave the time off how long it takes a song to fade out and the next song to kick in when I press "Play Now" when choosing what song to play ??

I'm sure along the way I will have more questions as I am a very brand new user to Touch Jams. 

But so far I'm loving how it all works !

Thanks in advance all,

"On the main home screen, with all the album covers, how do I ( or can I at all ) change which album cover I want displayed on that screen ?"

Change the album art in the album folder or remove original image embedded in the music track and replace with whatever album art you wish too see.

EDIT.

I may have give you the wrong info for what you need, here is some info, I DON'T think you can do what you want too do.

HOME view changed (ALBUM) after update (August 23, 2021 - Release 3.5.2.3)

This is a NEW setting, as mentioned in the release notes.

Options/View Settings/General - Album and Artist Views

You have 3 Options

1 Legacy = ALBUMS are sorted by ARTIST name and each individual Album is shown (The old way of display in previous versions)

2 Group Artists = This will put all ALBUMS OF an ARTIST under 1 thumbnail (Single Artist Albums)

3 Group Artists + Expand Artists From Compilations = This will show EVERY ARTIST with individual thumbnail (including those on COMPILATION ALBUMS)

Note, the views also change on YEAR & GENRE

thanks for that ! any advice on how to keep the songs from not fading out so quick before the next song kicks in ?!!

"any advice on how to keep the songs from not fading out so quick before the next song kicks in ?"

TouchJams comes with a built in cross fader which enables the currently playing song to fade out while the next song in the queue fades in. This allows for music to be constantly played with zero silence in between songs.

I have only used the default settings, as they always worked ok for my needs.

Some people have had undesirable issues when changing some values.

Ther is some good info in the Touchjams help file.
