ORGANISING YOUR      
MUSIC COLLECTION

This chapter describes the features built into your Audio 
Server to help you organize the music in your 

Library

including information about creating playlists of your 
favourite tracks, deleting albums or tracks you no longer 
want to store, and naming albums, tracks, and artists.

PLAYLISTS

Your Audio Server allows you to create your own 
selections, called playlists, and identify them with a 
name of your choice.  For example, you could select 
your favourite party tracks from a number of different 
albums and include them in a playlist called 

Party Music

.  

You can then play your selection simply by choosing the 
appropriate playlist from the 

Playlist

 screen.
