when highlighting a folder, artist, or album. All the contents of the folder, artist, or album will be added (that is, appended) or inserted before the selected song in the current Playlist.

You can jump back and forth between the browser and the Playlist by selecting the Focus buttons. A Playlist can have a maximum of 5000 songs. We recommend that you save your Playlists.

12.3 Saving a Playlist

	It is recommended that each time you create a Playlist, you save it to a separate
	folder called Playlists. These lists take very little space on your hard drive and
	if well named, give you easy access to your favorite songs. Go to the Playlist by
	selecting Music from the main menu and then select the Open Playlist panel
	action icon. You will then see the list of songs in the current Playlist. Use the action
	button to focus on the right panel, then select the Manage Playlists action icon,
	and select Save. ATTENTION: Make sure that your left panel is the Playlists folder
	because the open panel on the left is the location the AV 500 will be saving your
	Playlist to.
Save	Saves the current playlist to Playlists or the folder open in the left panel. The * after the Playlist name indicates that
	this playlist has not been saved.
Close	Clears the Playlist and closes the Playlist panel.
Rename	Renames the current playlist.
Clear	Clears the contents of the current playlist.
Shuffle	Randomly shuffles the order of the songs in the current playlist.
The following Playlist action icons are also available
Icon: Remove Track	Will delete the highlighted song from the Playlist. It will not delete the actual song itself from your hard drive, just from
	the current Playlist.
Icon: Move track	Allows you to change the place in the list of the highlighted song. Click on Move and then click on UP or DOWN to
	move the song up or down the list. Click OK when finished.

Important: Once you save a Playlist it is important that you do not move or rename the actual music files since the Playlist searches in the original file location. If you need to move your music files to a different folder, you’ll have to recreate your Playlist.

12.4 Adding songs to a Playlist while listening to Music

This can only be done if you have entered your Music folder via the Music icon and not by the general browser. To add the song you are listening to or any other song to the current Playlist, do the following:

•While playing a song, choose the action icon Playlist Editor. A new window will open with two panels, the hard drive contents on the left, and the Playlist on the right.

•Select the Focus on the left panel action icon to go to the hard drive browser panel.

•Select the song or folder of songs to add, then click PLAY or the action icon Add to Playlist.

•Click ESC to return to the playing screen. Remember to save your changes before closing the Playlist.
