- A <dfn>tag</dfn> is bit of information, or metadata, that is associated
- with a data file. Specifically, tags are keywords or terms that you feel
- have some relevance to a particular soundfile. Ardour can store these tags
- in a searchable <dfn>database</dfn> so that you can quickly search for sounds based

+ A <dfn>tag</dfn> is bit of information, or metadata, that is associated

</p>
<p>
- For example you can assign the term <kbd class="input">120bpm</kbd> to a
- sound, and then when you search for this tag, the file will appear in the
- search list. Tags are independent of the filename or anything else about
- the file. Tags, and the file paths that they are associated with, are
- stored in a file called <samp>sfdb</samp> in your Ardour user folder.
+ For example if the term <kbd class="input">120bpm</kbd> has been assigned to a

+<h2>Creating and adding tags</h2>
+
+<p>
+ Adding tags to a given file is done by opening the <kbd class="menu">Session > Import</kbd>
+ dialog, selecting the file in the browser, and typing new tags into the tag
+ area in the soundfile information box on the right.
</p>
<p>
- To <dfn>add tags</dfn> to a given file, open the <kbd class="menu">Session > Import</kbd>
- dialog, select the file in the browser, and type new tags into tag area in
- the soundfile information box on the right.<br/>
Tags are stored when the input box loses focus, there is no need to
explicitly save them.
</p>
<p>
- You can <dfn>search</dfn> for specific tags in the <kbd
- class="menu">Search Tags</kbd> tab of the same dialog. Files which have
- been tagged with the relevant terms will appear in the results window.
- Selected files can be auditioned and marked with additional tags if
- required.
+ To have more than one tag for a file, new tags can either be added on new lines
+ (meaning the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key is pressed between two tags) or they can be
+ separated from the previous ones by a comma (<kbd class="input">,</kbd>), with or without spaces.
