Is it possible to search in folders for tracks that do not have a tag? For instance - all my music is in a folder named Al’s Music. There are 91 folders in there. Is it possible to select one or more folders to search for tracks that have empty tags(no title, artist, etc.) without having to Change Directory Ctrl-D and look through each folder for no tags? This would be helpful if possible. Thanks.

You can load the whole collection and then try the filter
%title% MISSING
to show files with no data in TITLE.
See also the documentation:
