Albums
Library → Albums lists your catalogue’s albums: artwork, publish state, code, label, track counts, tags and where each came from. An album is your catalogue’s copy of a release; see Releases and recordings.
Find albums
Search… offers chips for albums, groups, album tags and labels, plus free text. Tags opens the tag browser. Click a Label to jump to it, a Mains or All versions count to open the tracks, and a tag to filter by it. The list is sorted by release date, newest first.
Row actions: View tracks, Export (see Download audio from the admin) and the pencil to edit.
Publish or unpublish in bulk
Tick albums and click Publish or Unpublish in the toolbar. Every track on those albums changes state too. Export downloads the selected albums and Export metadata produces a metadata CSV for them.
