Playlists & folders

Create a playlist#Link to “Create a playlist”

1. Click “+” (“Create playlist”) in the playlist tree.
2. In the “New playlist or smartlist” dialogue, leave the switch on “Playlist” and enter a name.
3. Optional: “Exclude from sync” or “Playlist favourite” (★ before the name).
4. Create with “Save”.

Add tracks#Link to “Add tracks”

• Drag tracks onto the playlist in the tree.
• Right-click tracks → “Send to” ▸ playlist or “New playlist”.
• In the selection bar, “Add to playlist …”.
• In the playlist dialogue under “Add tracks”.

In a playlist, “Move up in playlist” and “Move down in playlist” change the order, and “Remove from playlist” takes a track out. The track stays in the library.

Folders#Link to “Folders”

A folder is created through the name: a playlist “Gigs / Saturday” goes into the folder “Gigs”. “New playlist …” in a folder’s menu already enters the folder. You can move things by drag-and-drop or with “Move to folder” ▸ “Top level” or a folder. How the tree is built (arrow, indentation, “···” menu) is described under Interface & navigation.

The playlist menu#Link to “The playlist menu”

Right-clicking a playlist offers, among other things:

• “Edit”, “Duplicate”, “Delete”, “Mark as favourite”
• “Copy track list”, “Copy track list with numbers”, “Export …”, “Export as PDF”
• “Synchronise playlist” (jumps to the Sync Center) and “Share with Sonodex”
• “Find tags & covers”, “Generate cue points”, “Discover new tracks”
• “Tools” ▸ “Merge …”, “Prefix …”, “Compare with another playlist …”, and for normal playlists also sorting by title and “Shuffle”

Sort and merge#Link to “Sort and merge”

In the “Edit playlist” dialogue you sort by title, artist, album, genre, BPM, key, duration, year, label, rating, energy or “Added”, ascending or descending, or mix with “Shuffle”. “Merge …” opens the library tools with this playlist (or the selected ones) preselected; there you set the order and save a new playlist, and duplicate tracks appear only once. “Prefix …” renames several playlists with a prefix or sequential numbers, with an Old → New preview.

Delete#Link to “Delete”

“Delete playlist (keep tracks)” removes only the playlist. Del in the playlist tree deletes selected playlists only when one of them has focus. You can undo with “Undo last change”.
