Playlist tree
Tracks on the empeg car player are organised into
playlists. A playlist is simply a collection of tracks that are
grouped together, perhaps because they have a common
theme; they may be from a certain album, by a certain
artist, or of a certain genre. A playlist can contain further
playlists (known as nested lists), and it is this hierarchy
that provides for fast selection of music on the player.
The top-level playlist, which is always present, is called
‘empeg car’ by default and cannot be deleted. A playlist
called ‘Unattached items’ is also listed. This contains items
not in a playlist. On the player, these items appear in the
first menu under playlists. From thereon the structure of
your music database is entirely up to you. The way in
which you choose to organise your music will reflect your
personal preferences.
In the example window shown on page 16, you can see
that tracks have been grouped into artist, group and
genre playlists. In fact, the tracks in each of the genre
playlists are copied from an artist or group playlist. You
can refer to a track in as many playlists as you want, but it
will only be stored once in the player so no capacity is
wasted.
When a playlist is selected on the car player, the tracks in
any nested lists will also play, and so on until the entire
branch of the tree has played. For example, the top level
empeg car playlist contains all of the tracks on the player,
whereas the artist playlist shown contains all of the tracks
for each of the artists.
You may choose to organise your music in an entirely
different way to this – it’s up to you!
It’s easy to navigate the playlist tree: open a branch by
clicking the + symbol, and close it again by clicking the –
symbol. Alternatively you can double click on a list to
open or close it’s branch. To select a playlist, simply
highlight it by clicking.
