ORGANIZING YOUR
MUSIC COLLECTION
This chapter describes the features built into your VIA!dj to help you organize the music in your music library, including information about creating playlists of your favorite tracks, deleting albums or tracks you no longer want to store, and naming albums, tracks, and artists.

For example, you could select your favorite party tracks from a number of different albums and include them in a playlist called Party Music. You can then play your selection simply by choosing the appropriate playlist from the Select Playlist menu.
Although playlists can be created directly from a VIA! Touch Panel, there is no way to enter the customized playlist names from here. We recommend that you use the VIA!dj remote con- trol to enter playlist information as its
