The Library is the place where you can access all your music collection. This will be organized according to the tags applied to the files. The main Library frame is composed of smaller windows that function as filters: Search, Label, Genre, Artist, Album Artist, Composer, Album, Rating, Year and Play Count. You can have as many or as few opened as you like. From any of these windows you can drag-and-drop, double click, or choose a contextual action for the elements selected.

Use the Search Box to look for anything in your Library. Guayadeque will start searching as soon as you type... unless you have unchecked the "Instant text search" checkbox in Preferences. In this case the search starts when you use the keyboard Enter key after having typed your text.

If in Preferences you have Enqueue as Default Action then pressing Enter will enqueue the search results.

Otherwise you'll have "Play as Default Action" and Enter will start playing your search results. This functionality can be disabled unchecking the option "When searching, pressing enter queues the result".

NB marking the checkbox in the right end of the search bar allows a search ignoring accented characters, in other words, it removes the accents from both the search text and the songs data before compare them, so accented characters will match non accented characters (new in v0.7.3).

These buttons allow to choose the display inside the Library
