Creating a Playlist with iTunes

A playlist is a customized list of songs that you saved together and can play later or record to 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
n	from various CDs or even a playlist that contains
	background music for a slideshow. You can use
	iTunes or HP Tunes in Media Center to create
	playlists.

If your playlist doesn’t appear in HP Tunes, make sure your songs are in your iTunes music library. You may need to close and open Media Center to update your display.
