Creating a Playlist in Windows Media Center

A playlist is a customized list of songs that you can keep to play later or record to a CD. Using playlists, you can group various digital music files together and determine the order in which you want the files to play.

You can create a playlist that includes several tracks from various CDs or even a playlist that contains background music for a slide show.

You can create playlists in Windows Media Center or the Windows Media Player.

To create a playlist:

1Select Music, select music library, and then select either albums, artists, playlists, songs, or genres.

2Use the arrow buttons on the remote control, or the arrow keys on the keyboard, or use the mouse to navigate to and select the music that you want to add to the playlist.

3Press OK on the remote control, or press the Enter key on the keyboard, or click the selection to select a song.

4Click Add to Queue to add the music to the list of music in the queue.

5Go back to the Windows Media Center. Click the mouse on the left arrow on the top left of the screen to go back to Windows Media Center.
