8 − Using the playlist finder

Overview

When you first insert a CompactFlash card into the SS-R1, three empty playlists (01–03) will automatically be created on the card. You can register audio files from the card into these playlists, and then select the desired playlist (the current playlist) so that its files will be played when you specify Playlist as the play area.

To perform playlist-related operations, start by opening the “playlist finder screen”. From this screen, proceed to the “playlist menu screen” where you can add files to a playlist or delete the entire contents of a playlist. From the playlist finder screen, you can also proceed to the “playlist screen” (which shows the files in the playlist), select a file for oper- ations, and then move to the “file menu screen” where you can add a file to the playlist, delete a file from the playlist, or move a file within the playlist.

Opening the playlist finder screen

If the play area (“Play area” on page 21) is PLAYLIST, make sure that the SS-R1 is stopped, playing, or paused, and hold down the front panel MENU key (or the remote’s FINDER key) to access the playlist finder screen.

Navigating in the playlist finder screen

The playlist finder screen will show three playlists (PLAYLIST_01–PLAYLIST_03).

At the right is shown the number of files (tracks) registered in each playlist.
