Created page with "Playlists allow you to group songs any way you wish. Playlists are always a subset of your library—that is, all of your songs stay in your library; they aren’t “move..."

New page

Playlists allow you to group songs any way you wish. Playlists are always a subset of your library—that is, all of your songs stay in your library; they aren’t “moved” to your playlists. Think of your playlists as just different ways to slice and dice your tunes. And yes, a single song can appear in as many different playlists as you want.

To create a new playlist:
#Click the New Playlist button (the plus sign in the lower left of your screen) OR use File → New Playlist. The new playlist appears to the left under Source.
#To name a playlist, select the playlist by clicking on it. Then click once more. (Do not double click.) A border will appear around the playlist title, and you can type in a new name.Is this correct?
#To add a song to the playlist, drag and drop the song from the library, or use Target Mode if you are adding multiple songs to a playlist.
#To play from a playlist, simply click on the playlist and its contents appear on screen. From here, you play the songs just as you do in the main library.

===Cool Things About Playlists===
*Each playlist can have its own columns of meta data. For example, your playlist "Show Tunes" might have a column for Composer, while your main Library does not. why isn't the default meta data for playlists the same as the main library's?

*To enable drag and drop reordering, make sure you sort your playlists by index (works in all playlists, including Rotation) what is "index"?
*When you change the tempo of a song, that change is reflected in all playlists. However, this is a default setting, and kJams will allow you to maintain different tempos in different playlists.

When you deselect this option, any change you make in tempo will be restricted to the playlist you’re in at the time.

==Target Mode==
Adding multiple songs to a playlist can become tedious if you have to drag each one individually. Target Mode allows you to move multiple songs quickly.
#Double click on the “target” playlist. A little, red target symbol appears.
#Double click (rather than drag) each song title that you want to add to the playlist.
#Double click again on the playlist to exit target mode.
