2. Play the item you want to preview in the same way you would play the
item to air.
Importing a Playlist
You can create playlist entries from a list of IDs stored in a text file. This is
known as importing a playlist.
To import a playlist:
1. Create a text file using a text editor, such as WordPad or NotePad, and list
the required event IDs—each on its own line— in the order in which they
will appear in the playlist.
2. Save the text file.
3. Select the point in the existing playlist where to insert the new items, or
create a new playlist. See “Creating a New Playlist” on page 75.
4. Select > File > Import Text File.
The Import Playlist dialog box appears.
5. Navigate to the text file and click Open.
A new entry is created for each ID in the text file. Each new entry is
designated as a placeholder so the event details may be updated automatically
from the AirSpeed server.
Exporting a Playlist
You can export playlist entries in the form of a text file for purposes such as
archiving or importing into a spreadsheet program.
To export a playlist:
1. Click a playlist to activate it.
2. Select File > Export Playlist.
The Export Playlist dialog box appears.
3. From the Save as type menu, select the format for the exported playlist:
text, tab delimited text, or comma delimited.
4. Navigate to the location where you want to save the file and click Save.
