Creating and editing playlists in Xplay
Saving the playlist
For a playlist to be available for future use, or accessible to other Vertigo Suite applications
(i.e. Xbuilder), the playlist must be saved to the Xmedia Server. Newly created playlists are
given a generic name (i.e. Playlist1) until they are saved and you specify a unique name.
As well, any edits that are performed to existing playlists are not permanent until the playlist
has been saved. A playlist with unsaved edits is indicated by an asterisks beside the
playlist’s name in Xplay’s Status bar.
When a playlist is saved to the system, it becomes a playlist asset. Playlist assets are stored
and accessed from within the P
LAYLISTS root category (and sub-categories) in the Asset
Browser.
To save a newly-created playlist:
1.
Select the F ILE >S AVE P LAYLIST command from Xplay’s menu commands.

Press C
TRL +S.

Press the S
AVE C URRENT P LAYLIST button in the Playlist Editor’s toolbar.
