Get Tracks from... These options specify the various online databases that are used when searching for meta data for a CD. You can force a search by selecting any one of these. Otherwise, when you put in a CD, kJams will search all of the databases until meta data is found. does kJams really search all of them?
Submit CD Tracks to... If the online databases fail to provide sufficient meta data for a CD, and you end up entering the data on your own, it's considered good form to then submit the new data to the online databases. These options are allow you to do this.

Consolidate Library This option allows you to consolidate your music library and is useful when you have your music stored all over the place.
Swap Name <-> Artist Use this option (and the two that follow) when a song's meta data is not in the correct position within the library or playlist. This option swaps the position of a song's name with the artist's name.
Swap Artist <-> Album Swaps the position of the artist's name with the album name.
Swamp Name <-> Album Swaps the position of the song's name with the album name.
Title Case This option changes the way capitalizaton is applied to meta data. The Title Case option will capitlize the first letter of each word, excepting articles, conjunctions and prepositions (the, and, etc.).
Capital Case This option reformats meta data so that the first letter of every word is capitalized. This differs from the above option in this way: If you apply the above option to "waiting on a friend," it will be reformatted "Waiting on a Friend." This option changes it to "Waiting On A Friend."
Album Names All Caps Reformats the album name to all capital letters
Artist Name: Swap First <-> Last Like the Swap options above, this option helps you clean up your library so that meta data is displayed consistently. Use this option to swap an artist's first and last name.
Reinterpret Names If you add songs to your library with the Add to Library function and the meta data is messed up, this option helps you clean it up en masse. Don't use this option unless you've read up on it first here: Fixing Tags (Meta Data) in the Library Temp
