ORGANIZING YOUR
MUSIC COLLECTION
This chapter describes the features built into your Audio
Server to help you organize the music in your music
library, including information about creating playlists of
your favorite tracks, deleting albums or tracks you no
longer want to store, and naming albums, tracks, and
artists.
PLAYLISTS
Your Audio Server allows you to create your own
selections, called playlists, and identify them with a
name of your choice. For example, you could select your
favorite party tracks from a number of different albums
and include them in a playlist called Party Music. You
can then play your selection simply by choosing the
appropriate playlist from the Playlist screen.

existing playlists:

Select key.
Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter a name for
the new playlist and press the

Select key.
Your new playlist will now appear in the list.
Adding music to a playlist

from any library screen, by using the
