*If you're going to be hashing a lot of files, it's a good idea to tick ''Auto update known file data'' under '''AniDB''' in '''Options''' - this will help update the main database with some file data if it lacks it. | *If you're going to be hashing a lot of files, it's a good idea to tick ''Auto update known file data'' under '''AniDB''' in '''Options''' - this will help update the main database with some file data if it lacks it. | ||

*Now, in the '''Add files''' tab, click the ''Add File(s)...'' button and browse to a directory with some anime in it, and select a file. Then click the ''Start'' button to begin hashing, and watch the [http://www.progressquest.com/ progress bar]. When it's done, go to the '''Known files''' tab and expand the tree till you find the file you just hashed. The line will appear ''white'' before the file has been checked against the database, then turn either ''blue'' when it's added to your MyList, ''purple'' if there's no file currently in AniDB that matches, or ''orange'' if you've already hashed the file before. | *Now, in the '''Add files''' tab, click the ''Add File(s)...'' button and browse to a directory with some anime in it, and select a file.

*So, if the experiment worked, hash all the files you have - use the ''Add Directory...'' button in the '''Add Files''' tab and add all the anime you have to hand, and just leave it to work. The hashing will take a while, just do something else in the meantime. If you have a lot of anime on CDs or DVDs, clear as much space as you can on a drive and copy it back on in blocks and hash - it might seem like a hassle, but is well worth it in the long run. | *So, if the experiment worked, hash all the files you have - use the ''Add Directory...'' button in the '''Add Files''' tab and add all the anime you have to hand, and just leave it to work.
