Creating a Playlist

A playlist is a customized list of digital music files. 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.

Use Windows Media Player to create playlists and then play them back using Media Center.
