Creating a Playlist
A playlist is a customized list of digital music files. Using
playlists, you can group various digital music files together
and determine the order in which you want the files to play.

music for a slide show.
Use Windows Media Player to create playlists and then play
them back using Media Center.

Player.

playlist, and then click OK. Your new playlist should
appear under the My Playlists area of the Media Player
window.
