4.2 Creating a Playlist
To create a Playlist, press the RIGHT
button while you are in the Music
browser. A second window will open
on the right side to display the Playlist
contents. You can now start adding
songs to the current Playlist. In the left
window, search for the songs you would
like to add to your Playlist. Once the song
is highlighted, click on the Add function
button to add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a
small mark next to the music icon will be made to indicate that it is in the
Playlist. Continue searching and adding songs in this manner until you are
satisfi ed. You can also click the Add or Insert button when highlighting
a folder. All the contents of the folder and its subfolders will be added or
inserted into the current playlist.
You can jump back and forth between the browser and the playlist by
clicking on the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. A Playlist can have a maximum
of 5000 songs. We recommend that you save your Playlists.
4.3 Saving a Playlist
It is recommended that each time you
create a Playlist, you save it to a separate
folder called
Playlists. These lists take
very little space on your hard disk and
if well named, give you easy access to
your favorite songs. Go to the Playlist by
selecting Music from the main menu and
then click on the RIGHT button. You will
then see the list of songs in the current
Playlist. Click the function button F1 then choose Save.
ATTENTION: Make sure that your left window is the Playlists folder,
because the open window on the left is the location the Gmini
™ 402 will be
saving your Playlist to. You will need to update the ARCLibrary in order to
see newly added Playlists.
Save – Saves the current playlist to the folder open in the left window. The
* next to the playlist name indicates that this playlist has not been saved.
Close – Closes the windows and returns to the main menu screen.
Rename – Renames the current playlist.
Shuffl e – Randomly shuffl es the order of the songs in the current playlist.
Clear – Clears the contents of the current playlist.
Button Move – Allows you to change the place in the list of the highlighted
song. Click on Move and then click on UP or DOWN to move the song up
or down the list. Click OK when fi nished.
Button Delete – Will delete the highlighted song from the Playlist. It will
not delete the actual song itself from your hard disk, just from the current
Playlist.
Important: Once you save a Playlist it is important that you do not move or rename the
actual MP3 fi les as the Playlist searches in the original fi le location. If you need to move your
MP3 fi les to a different folder, you’ll have to recreate your Playlist.
4.4 Adding songs to a Playlist while listening to Music
This can only be done if you have entered your Music
folder via the Music icon
and not by the general
browser. To add the song you are listening to or any other
song to the current Playlist, do the following:
• While playing a song, click on Options and choose Edit
Playlist. A browser window and the Playlist will open.
• Click on the LEFT button to go to the hard disk browser
window.
• Select the song or folder of songs to add, then click the
button Add.
• Click ESC to return to the playing screen.
