Organizing your library

Introduction

Stow is built around how you already organize files. You don't need to rebuild your collection inside a streaming-style catalog.

Steps

1. Folders — Browse nested paths like Music/Artist/Album. Subfolders from imports are preserved.
2. Pin folders — Long-press a folder → Pin to show it on Library home.
3. Playlists — Tap Playlists → + to build a custom set without moving files.
4. Tags — Label tracks (e.g. Workout, Focus) and browse by tag.
5. Search — Find tracks by title, artist, album, or folder path.

Tips

• Folders are for structure; playlists are for sessions; tags are for cross-cutting themes.
• Tag playlists update automatically when you add or remove that tag from tracks.
• Move to folder (track actions) reorganizes without re-importing.
