Playlists

While many DJs will perform “off-the-cuff” without any previous rehearsal or forethought, other DJs will “pre-program” their sets, either due to the complexity of the set or simply as a method for remembering vital songs (this can be helpful for wedding or party DJs who take requests).

Torq features Playlists to help you organize and store lists of songs. You can create and manage multiple Playlists, each with as many songs as you like. Each Playlist can then be edited by adding or deleting tracks, or by rearranging their order within the Playlist.

<Creating New Playlists

To start, you must create a new Playlist as follows:

1.Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) on the Playlists heading in the Browser and choose “New Playlist” from the pop-up menu..

2.A new Playlist titled “Empty Playlist” will appear below the Playlist heading (click the plus sign in front of Playlists in order to see this list).

Note: If there is already an “Empty Playlist” in the list, a number will be appended to the name to differentiate it from the other(s), i.e. “Empty Playlist 1.”

<Rename Playlist

1.Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) on your desired Playlist and choose “Rename Playlist” from the pop-up menu..

2.Type in the new name you would like to give the Playlist and hit the Enter key on your computer keyboard.

3.The Playlist will display its new name.

<Deleting a Playlist

1.Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) on the Playlist and choose “Delete Playlist” from the pop-up menu.

2.The Playlist will be removed from the list in Torq. It will still be on your computer, however, stored in the “Deleted Playlists” folder. These Playlists will be kept for up to 30 days, then permanently deleted.

<Duplicating a Playlist

If you like a particular Playlist and would like to build a new one based upon it, you can duplicate (or copy) it for future modification.

1.Right-click (CTRL-click on Mac) the Playlist you would like to duplicate and choose “Duplicate Playlist” from the pop-up menu..

2.A duplicate of the selected playlist will be created and displayed underneath it.

3.A number will be added to the name of the Playlist to differentiate it from the original. Of course, you can rename this Playlist using the method described above.
