Database
The Database is the first item displayed in the Browser pane. The Database is simply a collection of file folders located 
throughout your computer system (even on external disk drives) used to make locating and organizing you music more 
efficient. Once a folder is added to the Database, the songs it contains will be listed in the File List whenever you click 
on the Database heading. If you have multiple folders assigned to the Database, all the files in all folders will be listed 
simultaneously in the File List. Therefore, to use the Database efficiently, you’ll only want to assign folders that contain 
music you’d like  
to spin.
Adding Folders to Database
 
 
To add a music folder to the Database:
 
 
  1.   Use the browser to search for a folder.
 
 
  2.   Right-click on the folder you want  
to add.
 
 
  3.   Choose “Add to database” from the pop-up menu. 
 
 
  4.   The folder will then be assigned to the Database (you 
can click the “+” in front of Database to see this new 
folder listed beneath it).
 
 
  5.   Now, when you click on Database, the contents of 
the folder you just assigned will be listed in the File List.
Adding Multiple Folders
 
 
 You may find that one folder will contain many folders that you’d like to add to the Database. A great example 
of this is when your music is automatically sorted by a program like Apple iTunes. Typically, there will be a folder 
for each artist in your collection, and each of these folders will contain individual folders for each album by that 
artist. Therefore, if you want to add all the music by this particular artist to the Database, you actually need to 
add all of the individual album folders.
 
 
To make this easier, Torq includes an option for adding folders, including their subfolders, to the Database:
 
 
  1.  Use the Browser to locate the folder containing the sub-folders you want to add.
 
 
  2.   Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) the folder and select “Add folder to Database Recursively.” Torq will 
automatically add the folder, along with all its sub-folders, to the Database.
