organiZing your music collection

This chapter describes the features built into your Audio Server to help you organize the music in your music library, including information about creating playlists of your favorite tracks, deleting albums or tracks you no longer want to store, and naming albums, tracks, and artists.

playlists

Your Audio Server allows you to create your own selections, called playlists, and identify them with a name of your choice. For example, you could select your favorite party tracks from a number of different albums and include them in a playlist called Party Music. You can then play your selection simply by choosing the appropriate playlist from the Playlist screen.

The following screen will be displayed, listing your existing playlists:

•Press the äOptions key.

•Select New Playlist and press the OSelect key.

•Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter a name for the new playlist and press the OSelect key.

Your new playlist will now appear in the list.
