ORGANIZING YOUR

MUSIC COLLECTION

This chapter describes the features built into your VIA!dj 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 VIA!dj allows you to create your own selections of tracks, 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 Select Playlist menu.

Although playlists can be created directly from a VIA! Touch Panel, there is no way to enter the customized playlist names from here. We recommend that you use the VIA!dj remote con- trol to enter playlist information as its alpha-numeric keypad makes the entering of text easy. The remote can be used in any room that has a system IR receiver and a TV with the VIA!dj display available. The remote can also be used to create playlists by pointing it directly at the VIA!dj and using the front panel display to guide you through the process.

Creating a New Playlist

NOTE: A maximum of 100 tracks may be added to the playlist.

Display the Main Menu by pressing the on your VIA!dj remote control.
