Creating Music Playlists

Use your favorite music software on your PC to create music playlists. A playlist allows you to specify exactly what tracks to play and in what order to play them. For example, create a “favorites” playlist and just listen to your favorite tracks. Save the playlist in the industry standard .m3u playlist format.

The DSM-320 will play tracks from playlists you create on your computer. The media player supports playlists in two standard formats:

￿m3u MPEG Playlist File

￿pls MPEG Playlist File

Software for playing music on your PC can be used to create playlists. WinAmpTM and Microsoft Windows Media PlayerTM are two examples.

Playing a Playlist

To play all the tracks in a playlist, highlight the playlist name and press the PLAY button. All tracks will be played in the order they appear in the playlist.

Controlling Music Playback

Your DSM-320 works just like a stereo or CD player. Controlling your music playback will be an easy and natural experience. Use the remote to PLAY, PAUSE, or STOP music.

Playing a Group of Songs

Highlight any folder and press the PLAY button on the remote control. All of the songs within the selected folder will be played. You can highlight a genre of music and all files that are associated with that genre will be played. Genre categories are defined when an audio file is created.

You can play songs within a folder from a specified track forward. For instance, if you have a folder with ten tracks and select Track 3, clicking on the PLAY button will play tracks 3 through 10. Note: If you press the ENTER button on the remote control instead of the PLAY button, only the selected track (Track 3) is played.

Playing Individual Songs

Individual songs can be played by highlighting a song and pressing ENTER on the remote control.
