The canonical artist name used by _LMS_ is the one specified in the `artist.nfo` file; If an `artist.nfo` exists but does not provide a name, the name of the containing folder is used.
If no artist info file is provided, _LMS_ will pick the artist name found on the latest release.
## Excluding files from scan
Place a `.lmsignore` file at the root of a media library to exclude files or directories from scanning.
The file uses a gitignore-inspired reduced syntax:
* `*.jpg`: ignore all `.jpg` files at any depth
* `/Unsorted/`: ignore the top-level `Unsorted/` directory only
* `extras/`: ignore any `extras/` directory at any depth
* `!cover.jpg`: re-include a file previously matched by a broader rule
* `?`: matches any single character except `/`
* `[abc]`: character class
Lines starting with `#` are comments. An empty file has no effect.
__Note__: only one `.lmsignore` file per library root is supported; files placed in subdirectories are ignored.
### Filtering
It is possible to apply global filters on your collection using `genre`, `mood`, `grouping`, `language`, `codec`, and by music library. More tags, including custom ones, can be added in the database administration settings.
