Editing a Playlist

Each song title in the playlist is simply a reference point (link) to its original song data. In other words, the actual song data is not affected when you add, remove or move songs to the playlist; only the links are changed. The MCX-2000 even allows you to add or remove links while playing the current playlist, and the unit continues playing according to a resulting playlist.

nYou cannot edit a playlist that’s being used to create (record) your original CD.

1From the Playlists screen, select a playlist you want to edit. If you move the selection (highlight) to an empty playlist and press the SELECT button on the remote control, the MCX-2000 prompts you to use the Add Link command from the Submenu.

If the selected playlist is not empty, the MCX-2000 shows songs linked from that playlist.
