Conforming
In the following explanation, I am going to use these conventions: R - artist name S - song name L - album name T - track number /x/ - stands for "folder named <x>" (without the brackets), eg: "/R/" is a folder who's name is the artist's name, or "/L/" is a folder who's name is the album name.
When you choose a Conform Template, you're picking how exactly you'd like kJams to format the names of the songs it keeps track of. kJams will use this template to set the file names when you edit meta info, when you export, when you rip, or when you convert format.
eg: if you pick "T S", which is the default for iTunes, you'll get song names like this:
"05 Wish You Were Here" "02 Tonight, Tonight"
eg: if you pick "L-T - R - S" you'll get stuff like this: "Dk001-12 - John, Elton - Bennie & The Jets" "Chartbusters.1-02 - Fiona Apple - Across The Universe"
