By selecting (“playing”) a song from the File Browser
Whenever a song is selected from the F
ILE
B
ROWSER
with
Navi
or
Right
, Rockbox will
automatically create a playlist containing all of the songs in that directory and start
playback with the selected song.
Note:
If you already have created a dynamic playlist, playing a new song will
erase
the
b
current dynamic playlist and create a new one. If you want to add a song to the current
playlist rather than erasing the current playlist, see the section below on how to add
music to a playlist.
By using Insert and Queue functions
If playback is stopped, the I
NSERT
and Q
UEUE
functions can be used as described in
4.4.3
to create a new playlist instead of adding to an existing one. This will
erase
any
dynamic playlist.

currently playing. To do this select P

Note:
All playlists in the P
LAYLIST CATALOG
are stored by default in the

b

not included in the catalog. It is however possible to move existing playlists there (see
