CHAPTER 4. BROWSING AND PLAYING 34
By selecting (“playing”) a song from the File Browser
Whenever a song is selected from the FILE BROWSER 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 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.
By using the Playlist catalog
The PLAYLIST CATALOG makes it possible to modify and create playlists that are not
currently playing. To do this select PLAYLIST CATALOG in the CONTEXT MENU. There
you will have two choices, ADD TO PLAYLIST adds the selected track or directory to
an existing playlist and ADD TO A NEW PLAYLIST creates a new playlist containing the
selected track or directory.
Note: All playlists in the PLAYLIST CATALOG are stored by default in the /Playlists
b
directory in the root of your player’s disk and playlists stored in other locations are
not included in the catalog. It is however possible to move existing playlists there (see
section 4.1.2 (page 23)).
By using the Main Menu
To create a playlist containing all music on your player, you can use the CREATE PLAYLIST
command in the PLAYLIST OPTIONS menu found in the MAIN MENU. The created
playlist will be named root.m3u and saved in the root of your player’s disk.
