Metrics
Metrics turn your library into charts on the dashboard, so you can see what your collection is made of and how well tagged it is.
The charts
| Chart | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | How many tracks, artists and albums you have. |
| Release years | How many tracks were released each year, from 1900 onwards. |
| Genres | How your tracks are spread across genres. Bigger tiles mean more tracks. |
| Formats | The share of each audio format (MP3, FLAC, …) in your library. |
| Metadata completeness | The percentage of tracks that have an ISRC, BPM, year, genre and lyrics. |
The metadata completeness chart is a quick way to see what needs work: a low Lyrics bar means it’s time for a lyrics analysis, and low Year or Genre bars point to tracks worth fixing in the tag editor.
Keeping metrics up to date
Most charts are calculated once and saved, so the dashboard stays fast even with a large library. This means they don’t update by themselves as your library changes.
Click Refresh Metrics on the dashboard to recalculate them. This runs in the background as a job; the charts show the new numbers once it finishes. Refresh after a big import, a merge, or a lyrics analysis.
The metadata completeness chart is always calculated live, so it’s always current.
Configuration
Metrics have no settings.
