Using a Playlist The playlists on the MCX-2000 give you new and creative ways to enjoy the songs you've stored to your music archive. Each playlist simply lets you combine and arrange archived songs as you like, but a finished playlist can be used in many ways. Not only can playlist songs be played on the MCX-2000 itself, but they can also be streamed to any MusicCAST client (page 88), if required, along with the timer playback feature (page 89). You can even use playlists to compile your own custom CDs (page 73). This section shows you how to manage your playlists. 3 Confirm the new playlist appears in the Playlists screen. Creating a Playlist You can create a playlist in one of two ways. The most seamless way is to save a bookmark list as a playlist; you can simply add the bookmark to songs in a song list view or each song's Play Information screen, and then go to the Bookmarks screen and save the current bookmark list as a playlist using the relevant Submenu command (page 50). The other way is to create a 'blank' playlists first with a suitable name, and then you can edit or compile it by adding necessary songs later. Here, we explain how to create a blank playlist. Other Submenu commands available from the Playlists screen: Play: Lets you play the selected playlist, from the first song in the list. In the Play Information screen, you can select other playlists using the group selection buttons (+/-). For other playback controls, see "Play Information and Controls" (page 50). 1 Select Top Menu > Library > Music Archive > Playlists for the following screen. Playlists screen Information: Shows a dialog box that provides detailed information about the selected playlist. Add Link: Lets you add a song to the selected playlist. You can search for the desired song by navigating down from a 'mini' Music Archive menu, in the same manner you search for a song in the music archive. Edit title: Lets you edit the selected playlist's name using the character palette or a PS/2 keyboard connected to the MCX-2000 (page 75). Delete this Playlist: Lets you delete the selected playlist and its content (links). When you select this command, a confirmation dialog box appears. Select OK if you're sure. Deleting a playlist doesn't delete the original song data. 2 Select the New Playlist command from the Submenu. The character palette appears, prompting you to type the name for a new playlist. Specify the name using the palette or using a PS/2 keyboard connected to the MCX-2000, and then select OK in the character palette (page 75). n Once created, each playlist shown in the Playlists screen is managed in the same way. You can add or remove songs from a playlist, even when it was 'converted' from a bookmark list. 82 MCX-2000 Owner's Manual
