The icon in front of each track should show you which ones are matched.

If I remember correctly, matched tracks / files will show a colored box varying between red (poor match of existing metadata) to green (good match).

Unmatched tracks will show a musical note symbol.

YonYonsen
looks like youre right
2018-07-02 18307, 2018
YonYonsen
so, you're supposed to look to the middle panel for that track and than drag it to the track with the music note icon?

Occasionally auto matching will try to match the same track to two (or more) files. Then you need to pull out the ioncorrect one by dragging it to the left side or drag it to the correct track.

drag the incorrect file

You can usually tell which one is right based on the track time.

No problem. If you do look at Picard again, try clustering just one album at a time from the middle pane before the lookup.

You might get better results.

if anyone knows why some of the tracks in the right column have a light red background?

2018-07-02 18319, 2018

that means that there is a large change, and possibly the match is really bad. you shoudl make extra sure it's right before selecting "save"
2018-07-02 18312, 2018

the rectangle is green though, the background of the whole line for the track is light red

Is the associated file read-only or in use in another application?

YonYonsen
no
2018-07-02 18302, 2018
YonYonsen
on second look, it seems there are shades of red
2018-07-02 18318, 2018

and that its possibly indicating the amount of tag changes

Okay, I was kinda grasping at straws there.

What happens when you try to save it? (After making sure you have a backup copy first.)
2018-07-02 18355, 2018
YonYonsen
its hard to tell onmy screen but it looks like the darker red also has the green bar not quite as filled
2018-07-02 18309, 2018
rdswift
Actually, you shoulod be able to see the list of the existing and new tags so you can see what will be changed.

green bar hover text = excellent light red, good = more red and so on

You might want to start that sort of comment with [off} so that it doesn't get saved in the logs and won't be displayed later.
