ENGLISH

ORGANISING YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION

This chapter describes the features built into your Music Server to help you organise the music in your music library, including information about creating playlists of your favourite tracks, deleting albums or tracks you no longer want to store, and naming albums, tracks, and artists.

USING PLAYLISTS

Your Music Server allows you to create your own selections of tracks, called playlists, and identify them with a name of your choice. For example, you could select your favourite 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.
