========================================
CUSTOMISATION HELP:

Enter 0 or 1 or as indicated.

AUTO-FETCH:
1 Enable web search for source. Results are cached.
0 Disable web search for source. Existing data cached to disc will be loaded.

NAMES:
Used in search, folder + file names & headings. %BIO_ALBUMARTIST%, %BIO_ARTIST%, %BIO_ALBUM% and %BIO_TITLE% define titleformat used for albumartist, artist, album and title, respectively. Variables are specific to Biography. Change default title formatting if required.

SAVE:
Enter title formatting or absolute paths. Always use the variables %BIO_ALBUMARTIST%, %BIO_ARTIST%, %BIO_ALBUM% or %BIO_TITLE, if applicable, to ensure correct functionality (copy style of defaults). The 2 reviews (& 2 biographies) must be saved in different folders. %profile% can be put at the start of the path and resolves to the foobar2000 profile folder or program folder in portable mode. Don't use %path% in save paths - it's incompatible with radio streams etc. As with title formatting, enclose literal ()[]'%$ in single quotes. It is recommended to validate changes by checking save paths of a few files. Trailing \ not needed. File names are auto generated. To organise by artist instead of source, search documentation for SAVE & paste patterns therein.

COVERS: MUSIC FILES:
Enable auto-save to have music file covers saved to a specified location.

COVERS: CYCLE FOLDER:
Enter folder. Title formatting, %BIO_ALBUMARTIST%, %BIO_ARTIST%, %BIO_ALBUM%, %BIO_TITLE, %profile% and absolute paths are supported.

LASTFM LANGUAGE:
Enter language code: EN, DE, ES, FR, IT, JA, PL, PT, RU, SV, TR or ZH, or use "Sources Menu". Optional fallback to trying English (EN) server if no results. AllMusic info is only available in English.

MISCELLANEOUS:
Image [Artist] Cache Limit: number per artist. Blank = no limit. If used with "Auto-Add New", newer images are added & older removed to give a fixed number of up-to-date images.

ADVANCED:
Custom cover paths. Most users shouldn't need this feature as covers are auto-loaded via foobar2000 album art reader or from save locations. Enable if required.
Similar Artists ("Tagger" & "More Menu"). Up to 6 are read from the biography. Using 7+ requires a saved list. Saving auto-enables by default while either set to 7+.
Write Tag: sets which tags are available to be written. Enter 0 or 1 or as indicated, or use "Write Tags... Menu". Change tag names as required.
