Creating a Playlist
A playlist is a customized list of digital music files. Using
playlists, you can group various digital music files together
and determine the order in which you want the files to play.
You can create a playlist that includes several tracks from
various CDs or even a playlist that contains background
music for a slide show.
Use Windows Media Player to create playlists and then play
them back using Media Center.

Player.

window. You can also select the music file and click the

window, and click Save.
