Listening to Music Files
Creating your own music playlists

button in the Music Files player mode.
The playlist editor window is divided into two views (Figure 23). The lower view displays the
music files finder and the upper view displays your playlists in a tree view.

Playlist editor window
The tree view lists playlists by name. A closed playlist containing music files displays a plus
sign [+] to the left of the name. If the playlist is empty, the plus sign is not displayed. Clicking
the plus sign opens the playlist to display its contents. When opened, a minus sign is dis-
played to the left of the playlist name. Clicking the minus sign collapses or closes the playlist.
Playlists can be created using items from any music finder view. This means that you can cre-
ate playlists of music by type, artist, composer, album or track.
