Creating a Playlist

A playlist is a customized list of digital music files. Using
playlists, you can group various digital music files together
and determine the order in which you want the files to play.
You can create a playlist that includes several tracks from
various CDs or even a playlist that contains background
music for a slide show.
Use Windows Media Player to create playlists and then play
them back using Media Center.
To create a playlist:
1 Click Start on the taskbar and select Windows Media
Player.
2 Select Media Library.
3 Click New playlist in the toolbar, type in a name for your
playlist, and then click OK. Your new playlist should
appear under the My Playlists area of the Media Player
window.
4 In the Media Library, select the music file that you want
to add to your playlist.
5 Click Add to playlist in the toolbar, and then select your
playlist from the drop-down menu. Repeat this step until
all of your files are added.
6 Select your playlist to check your added music files.
7 Close Media Center, if open, and then press the Start
button on the remote control. Your playlist won't appear
in My Music unless you close and open Media Center.
You can now play your playlist in Media Center.
