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
Playlist submenu
(see section
4.4.3
(page
36
)), you are creating (or adding to) a dynamic playlist.
Insert.
In Rockbox, to
Insert
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
Insert
into a playlist in several places.
Queue.
In Rockbox, to
Queue
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
Insert
and
Queue
is that the
Queue
option removes the song from the
playlist once it has been played, and the
Insert
option does not.
4.4.2. Creating playlists
Rockbox can create playlists in four different ways.
By selecting (“playing”) a song from the File Browser
Whenever a song is selected from the
File Browser
with
Select
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
Insert
and
Queue
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.
