Playlists
Playlists are ordered lists, and are used when you want to preserve the order of tracks. For example, you may create a playlist for "Top 40 1971" that preserves the order of the tracks. You may also want to create a compilation playlist of your favorite tracks, in order of preference. You can also create a playlist with your favorite Radio Stations, so that they are easily accessible at all times.
The point of creating Playlists is to group your collection in groups that you identify, and which are then very easy to access.
Playlists are accessible in the organization tree.
Playlist Groups
If you like to create Playlists, you might end up with a very long list of them. You can put more order in that list by creating a Playlist Group. A Playlist Group is like a folder for your Playlists. So, for example, you might want to have a Playlist Group called "Charts" under which you can place your Playlists called "Top 40 of 1983" and other similar Playlists. You might have another Playlist Group called "Mixes" for all those compilation Playlists you have like "Workout", "Variety Tape #1" and "Jimmy's Tape".
"Recent Playing Now's" - Automatically Generated Playlist
Whenever you add files to Playing Now, your Playing Now playlist is saved until you exit Media Center. To access the lists, go to "Recent Playing Now's" under Playlists in the tree. You may have to refresh the view: collapse Recent Playing Now's, then expand. Note: Recent Playing Now's are only generated after your first Playing Now list has been modified.. Each Playing Now list will be saved until you exit the program.
