-==== Storing metadata ====
-Any changes you make in the Properties dialog, including cue markers and attributes, will be "volatile", that means, they are only stored in RAM for the instance of the audio item in the current playlist, and will be lost when you delete the item from the playlist.
-To make your metadata changes permanent, mAirList offers three ways of exporting the metadata, found in the menu that appears when you click the //Export...// button at the bottom of the Properties dialog:
-  * **File tag**: Metadata is stored in an XML block in a hidden part of the ID3v2 tag. Only works for MP3 files, and not of the file is currently loaded into a player (the file will be locked on disk then).
-  * **MMD file**: Metadata is stored in a small XML file (file extension ''.mmd'', "mAirList meta data") alongside the audio file. Works with any file type and is non-obstrusive (original file remains untouched).
-  * **Database**: Stores the metadata in the database library. Requires a [[tutorials:mairlistdb:getting-started|mAirListDB]] to be set up first.
-When you re-add the same file to the playlist or cartwall later, mAirList will detect the existing metadata and use it.
 ===== Cartwall =====

 ==== ON, PFL, and OFF mode ====
-The cartwall has three different operation modes: **ON** (on air), **PFL** (prelistening) and **OFF** (when neither ON or PFL is active). This will actually switch the sound card output (and disable some other things like logging in PFL mode) - see the section on audio routing below. When you use remote control with your mixing console, it is also possible to reflect the state of the cartwall channel on the console here (ON = fader open, PFL = fader in PFL/cue mode, OFF = fader closed).

 All logging mechanisms use a set of [[reference:logging_variables|variables]] that are replaced by the actual item data, e.g. ''%a'' for artist or ''%b'' for title.
-There is a //Item Type// tab in the properties of any logging mechanism where you can select the type of items to be logged - e.g. to filter out any item type but music for the online playlist on your website:
