File View
File view ("Files" from the top level of the library) is
available for any device, whether or not a library has
been built. It uses folder and filenames so is
particularly useful if you prefer to organise your
content on disk instead of (or as well as) with tags.
The view starts at the top level (root) of the device and
lists folders followed by tracks. Navigate with the Push
Select knob, pressing to move into folders and
selecting
Back
from the menu to return to the previous
level.
The file view offers a set of menu options which refer to the currently highlighted track. If no track is
highlighted then only the Back option is available. Playlist is only available if the device has a library.

Working with Playlists
Playlists are list of tracks in a particular order. You can create as many playlists as you wish using
DDS, and you can also create them on your PC or Mac in one of the supported formats (see "Preparing
your Storage Device" above). You might use them to save sets, or to organize tracks in a personalised
way. You can access and manage playlists from the
Playlist
option at the top level of the library.
