Creating and editing playlists in Xplay
Navigating and selecting elements within the playlist
When Xplay is in Standard playlist view, a loaded playlist appears in the Playlist Editor as one
sequential list of playlist elements, and you can navigate and select freely within the playlist.
When Xplay is in the ByDevice playlist view, the playlist splits up its elements into sub-playlists
that contain elements that target each of the devices configured in Xplay. As such, you are only
permitted to select within one of the device’s playlists at a time. In other words, if elements are
selected in the playlist for device1 and then you click on an element in device2, the selection is
cleared in the playlist for device1.
