Help With Playlist Stuff.

<< < (2/2)

Chronon:
MajiKool Blingâ„¢ basically described the use of the Playlist Catalog Submenu that I mentioned.  You can also follow the instructions in the manual to add songs to a dynamic playlist and then save that once you're happy with it.

I just want to note that I would not say that there's "way too much stuff" on playlists in the manual.  In fact, your question has brought to my attention that we need to mention the Playlist Catalog Submenu.  In any case, the section about adding music to playlists is about a page long.  I would hardly call that way too much to read.   ::)

MajiKool Dragonâ„¢:
to add more stuff just follow step "2" above.

to delete/move stuff within a playlist...
here's a step by step...

1.first navigate to the playlist you wish to edit,
load that playlist(by pressing short select),
then pause(or if you really want to you can keep listening),
2a.make sure you are now on the playback screen know here as the while-playing-screen(wps),
now enter the the "wps" context menu(press long select),
select Playlist,
select View Current Playlist,
2b.highlight the song you wish to delete/move(within the View Current Playlist screen of course) and open its context menu(press long select),
select remove in the context menu if you wish to delete the song or,
select move if you wish to move it.
if you choose to move it an arrow/pointer will appear in front of the song you are moving.
if that was not the song you wanted to move then just leave it where it is and press select.
other wise move it to where you want it and press select to confirm its new position.

to move/delete other songs simply repeat step "2a+b",
or if you're all ready at the View Current Playlist screen you can just do step "2b".

then if you are done or wish to do something else you can press either the rewind or play button to return to the wps and then sub menu if you wish to exit the wps to the main menu.(strangely you cant go back to the wps context menu from here, so if you want to save the changes you've made to your playlist you'll have to go back to the wps first then re-enter the wps context menu)

3.once you have finished editing your playlist and you wish to save it...
first you make sure you are now on the wps,
open its context menu and select Playlist,
finally you select Save Current Playlist,
rename it if you wish other wise just press play to overwrite the old one.
note: if you do not save the changes you made will only be withheld until you load a different playlist.

That'll be all.  ;D






you can also edit the file itself using the "text editor"...
navigate to the playlist you wish to edit and enter the context menu for that playlist,
select Open With... and select text_editor

documentation for the "text editor" is here
note: i wouldn't suggest using the "text editor" to edit you playlists due to the poor documentation... unless of course you want to try and figure it out.

your right, there aint 'way to much' there and it aint to much to read, BUT i dont find it all that easy to understand as far as what i was asking to do is all... that's why i figured it would be just easier to ask someone how to do it instead of taking random guesses which i might have never figured it out in that case.

cause basically 'majicool bling' cut through all the BS is all and made is really easy to understand ;)

p.s. but im glad if this post helps out the manual a little more well then i guess everyone wins ;)
