Chapter 8 Working With Playlists
Creating a list
Lists are created using the List view. When Playlist is started, the last list loaded on
the play channel is opened automatically. If the last list loaded has been deleted, then
an empty list containing one section and no events is created. New lists are named
“List_n”, where n is the first number that results in a unique file name. There is no
“eject” operation in Playlist, as there is always a list loaded.
To create a new list:
1. Select the context menu button , then choose the New List menu item.
The New List dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the bin to store the list, then edit the default name for the new list, then click
OK .
3. The current list closes, and the new one is created containing one section and no
events.
Opening an existing list
To open a list, do the following:
1. Select the context menu button , then choose Open List .
The Open List dialog box appears.
2. Locate and select the list you want to open, then select Open .
Before the list is opened, the currently loaded list is closed.
Renaming a list
To rename a list in Playlist:
• Select the context menu button , then choose Rename List .
Inserting play events
A new list contains one section and no events. When you start inserting play events,
they will be played in the order you insert them. You can move events in the list up
or down, or insert new events between existing ones by selecting the insertion point.
Selecting the insertion point
• When using the Insert button or menu item, the insertion point is after the currently
selected event.
• When using the drag and drop method, you will see a drop cursor as you drag the
event over the list. The drop cursor indicates where the new event will be inserted.
