| **__In Summary, therefore__**: Creating a database means (a) providing a unique name that doesn't already exist; and (b) pointing Giocoso to a folder within which the music you want Giocoso to catalogue can be found, after which (c) Giocoso performs the equivalent of a 'full refresh' of the new database. Metadata tags embedded with each discovered FLAC are used to populate the Giocoso database with values that can subsequently be searched and filtered by, thereby allowing Giocoso later on to play music you want to be played. A freshly-created database can be used immediately to play music, but won't subsequently be used automatically unless the Persistent Configuration file mentions it, by name, as the 'default' database. | **__In Summary, therefore__**: Creating a database means (a) providing a unique name that doesn't already exist; and (b) pointing Giocoso to a folder within which the music you want Giocoso to catalogue can be found, after which (c) Giocoso performs the equivalent of a 'full refresh' of the new database.
