Creating a simple playlist
Lists are created using the List view. When Playlist application is started, an empty
list is displayed. If the last list loaded has been deleted, then an empty list containing
one section and no events is created. New lists are named “List_n”, where n is the first

To create a new list:
1. Select Playlist | New List .
The New List dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the bin where you want to store the list, edit the default name for the new

event.
