By using the Playlist catalogue

The Playlist catalogue makes it possible to modify and create playlists that are

not currently playing. To do this select Playlist catalogue in the Context Menu.

There you will have two choices, Add to playlist adds the selected track or directory

to an existing playlist and Add to a new playlist creates a new playlist containing

the selected track or directory.

Note: All playlists in the Playlist catalogue are stored by default in the /Playlists

directory in the root of your player’s disk and playlists stored in other locations are not

included in the catalogue. It is however possible to move existing playlists there (see

section 4.1.2 (page 22)).

By using the Main Menu

To create a playlist containing all music on your player, you can use the Create

Playlist command in the Playlists menu found in the Main Menu. The created

playlist will be named root.m3u8 and saved in the root of your player’s disk.

4.5.3. Adding music to playlists

Adding music to a dynamic playlist

Figure 4.7.: The Playlist Submenu

The Playlist Submenu is a submenu in the Context Menu (see section 4.1.2 (page 22)),

it allows you to put tracks into a “dynamic playlist”. If there is no music currently play-

ing, Rockbox will create a new dynamic playlist and put the selected track(s) into it.

If there is music currently playing, Rockbox will put the selected track(s) into the cur-

rent playlist. The place in which the newly selected tracks are added to the playlist is

determined by the following options:

Insert. Add track(s) immediately after any tracks added via the most recent Insert

operation. If no tracks have yet been added via an Insert, new tracks will be

added immediately after the current playing track. If playback is stopped a new

dynamic playlist will get created with the selected tracks.

Insert Next. Add track(s) immediately after current playing track, no matter what else

has been inserted.
