4.4 Working with Playlists
4.4.1 Playlist terminology
Some common terms that are used in Rockbox when referring to playlists:
Directory.
A playlist! One of the keys to getting the most out of Rockbox is under-
standing that Rockbox
always
considers the song that it is playing to be part of a
playlist, and in some situations, Rockbox will create a playlist automatically. For
example, if you are playing the contents of a directory, Rockbox will automatically
create a playlist containing all songs in it. This means that just about anything that
is described in this chapter with respect to playlists also applies to directories.
Dynamic playlist.
A dynamic playlist is a playlist that is created “On the fly.” Any
time you insert or queue tracks using the P
LAYLIST SUBMENU
(see section
4.4.3
(page
35
)), you are creating (or adding to) a dynamic playlist.
Insert.
In Rockbox, to I
NSERT
an item into a playlist means putting an item into a
playlist and leaving it there, even after it is played. As you will see later in this
chapter, Rockbox can I
NSERT
into a playlist in several places.
Queue.
In Rockbox, to Q
UEUE
a song means to put the song into a playlist and then
to remove the song from the playlist once it has been played. The only difference
between I
NSERT
and Q
UEUE
is that the Q
UEUE
option removes the song from the
playlist once it has been played, and the I
NSERT
option does not.
4.4.2 Creating playlists
Rockbox can create playlists in four different ways.
