Update notes and audio metadata from an item's details panel.

Find your way around the panel

• A file opens with Details, Notes, and Tags.

• A folder opens with Details and Description — a folder's written context is called Description, not Notes.

• A bar at the bottom carries the actions your role allows: the favorite star always, plus Insights and Share for Owners and Admins.

Add project context with notes

• Use notes for feedback, version decisions, and production context. Files have Notes; folders have Description.

• On Web, open Details from the item's menu, edit Notes, then press Enter or click elsewhere to save. Press Escape to discard the change.

• On iPhone, press and hold the item, then choose Details. For files, you can also choose Notes for a full-screen editor; changes save shortly after you stop typing and when you leave it.

Set BPM and musical key for audio

• BPM and key are available only for audio files. You can add or change them in Details after upload.

• Enter BPM as a whole number. On Web, a value up to 999 can be saved; iPhone requires a whole number. A non-numeric BPM is rejected, and a key must look like C or Cm.

• Choose a standard key from C through B, then choose major or minor. Traklist stores the key and scale together, so clear both rather than only one.

Let audio analysis get you started

For supported audio files that are 20 minutes or shorter, Traklist may populate BPM and key after processing. Treat the result as a starting point and correct it when needed.

Tag a file from the panel

The Tags tab on a file is where tags are added and removed. Tags are a Web feature and require Pro; without Pro the tab offers an upgrade instead. See Add, remove, rename, and filter by tags.

Choose a Web key display

In Settings under Display, turn on Use Camelot Wheel to show Camelot notation such as 8B in track lists. Turn it off to show standard musical notation. This only changes how a key is shown; it never changes the key stored with the file.

Access and sharing

• You can edit notes, BPM, or key only for files in your own library.

• Public share pages do not allow editing.

Troubleshooting

If a metadata field is locked, check your role — in a folder someone shared with you, editing needs edit access. If analysis has not finished, wait for processing before entering BPM or key manually.
