4.2 Creating a Playlist

To create a Playlist, press the RIGHT

button while you are in the Music

browser. A second window will open

on the right side to display the Playlist

contents. You can now start adding

songs to the current Playlist. In the left

window, search for the songs you would

like to add to your Playlist. Once the song

is highlighted, click on the Add function

button to add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a

small mark next to the music icon will be made to indicate that it is in the

Playlist. Continue searching and adding songs in this manner until you are

satisﬁ ed. You can also click the Add or Insert button when highlighting

a folder. All the contents of the folder and its subfolders will be added or

inserted into the current playlist.

You can jump back and forth between the browser and the playlist by

clicking on the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. A Playlist can have a maximum

of 5000 songs. We recommend that you save your Playlists.

4.3 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 disk 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 click on the RIGHT button. You will

then see the list of songs in the current

Playlist. Click the function button F1 then choose Save.

ATTENTION: Make sure that your left window is the Playlists folder,

because the open window on the left is the location the Gmini™ 402 will be

saving your Playlist to. You will need to update the ARCLibrary in order to

see newly added Playlists.

Save – Saves the current playlist to the folder open in the left window. The

* next to the playlist name indicates that this playlist has not been saved.

Close – Closes the windows and returns to the main menu screen.

Rename – Renames the current playlist.

Shufﬂ e – Randomly shufﬂ es the order of the songs in the current playlist.

Clear – Clears the contents of the current playlist.

Button Move – 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 ﬁ nished.

Button Delete – Will delete the highlighted song from the Playlist. It will

not delete the actual song itself from your hard disk, just from the current

Playlist.

Important: Once you save a Playlist it is important that you do not move or rename the

actual MP3 ﬁ les as the Playlist searches in the original ﬁ le location. If you need to move your

MP3 ﬁ les to a different folder, you’ll have to recreate your Playlist.

4.4 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 an y other

song to the current Playlist, do the following:

• While playing a song, click on Options and choose Edit

Playlist. A browser window and the Playlist will open.

• Click on the LEFT button to go to the hard disk browser

window.

• Select the song or folder of songs to add, then click the

button Add.

• Click ESC to return to the playing screen.
