8 – Editing playlists

Overview of playlist editing

Whenever you load an SD card, CF card or USB flash drive into

this unit for the first time, one empty playlist is automatically

created on that media. You can also create new playlists.

Opening the playlist screen

You can view playlists from the

BROWSE

screen.

When you have format media using this unit, a file named

"Playlist001" will be created automatically in the Playlist folder,

which is in the first level of the ROOT folder. You can also create

new playlists inside the Playlist folder. (See “Creating a new

playlist” on page 48.)
The following procedures explain how to view "Playlist001,"

which was automatically created when the media was formatted.
1. Press the MENU button to open the

GENERAL

page of

the menu screen, and turn the MULTI JOG dial to select

BROWSE

2. Press the MULTI JOG dial to open the

BROWSE

screen.

3. Select the ROOT folder and turn the MULTI JOG dial to select

the Playlist folder.

Press the ,[/] button to enter the Playlist folder, and

show Playlist001 that was automatically created.

4. Press the ,[/] button to show the tracks that have

been added to Playlist001. If no tracks have been added, it

will appear empty.

NOTE

With newly formatted media, “Playlist001” will be the

current playlist. After other playlists have been created, the

last open playlist will be the current playlist.

Registering tracks in a playlist

You can register tracks in a playlist. In addition, you can register

a folder to add all the tracks in that folder at one time.
For details, see “Registering folders and files in a playlist” on page

35.

JOG dial to open the playlist pop-up menu. This is the menu to

use when you want to work with the “Playlist” folder or a playlist.
