Channels

A channel is a collection of playlists. There are two types of

channels:

Custom channels are created by you and contain your playlists. For instance, you can create a “Rock” Channel that contains playlists of rock music, or “John’s Channel”, which contains playlists of John’s favorite artists. A channel named “Sample Channel” containing a sample playlist has been created to help you get started.

Featured channels contain playlists created for you by Internet music and radio services. Featured channels cannot be edited within Media Manager. Use Online Guide to add, remove, and configure these channels. After modifying a featured channel in Online Guide, click the refresh button in Media Manager to update your featured channels.
