<Deleting Session Playlists

You can delete the Session Playlists using the same method for deleting standard Playlists. If you delete the current Session Playlist, a new one will be created that will track all songs played from that point forward.

iTunes

iTunes is a free media player available from Apple for both Mac and Windows computers (www.itunes.com). It provides an excellent way to download, organize, and rip music as well as interfacing with Apple’s famous portable media player, the iPod.

Torq can interface with iTunes, providing you instant access to your entire collection of music and playlists without having to manually add folders to the Database. Furthermore, any updates or changes that you make to your iTunes Library or Playlists will automatically be reflected in Torq.

<Library

The iTunes Library is the entire collection of music and videos currently managed by iTunes. You can browse and search the iTunes Library by clicking the plus sign in front of the iTunes heading in the Browser, then clicking the Library heading. The contents of the Library will be shown in the File List.

Note: If you have an especially large iTunes Library, it may take a moment for Torq to read the entire contents of the Library the first time you select it in a Torq session.

Once you’ve clicked the Library heading, you can search and sort the Library contents in the same manner as the Database (described earlier).

<Playlists

iTunes also supports the creation and editing of playlists, but they are a different format from the ..m3u format used by Torq. Not to worry—Torq can still access these playlists through the iTunes heading in the Browser. Simply click the plus sign in front of Playlists to view them. Click on an individual Playlist to see its contents in the File List.
