File View; Working With Playlists - Numark D2 Director Reference Manual

File View

File view ("Files" from the top level of the library) is available
for any device, whether or not a library has been built. It
uses folder and filenames so is particularly useful if you
prefer to organise your content on disk instead of (or as well
as) with tags.
The view starts at the top level (root) of the device and lists
folders followed by tracks. Navigate with the Push Select
knob, pressing to move into folders and selecting Back from
the menu to return to the previous level.
The file view offers a set of menu options which refer to the currently highlighted track. If no track is
highlighted then only the Back option is available. Playlist is only available if the device has a library.

Working with Playlists

Playlists are list of tracks in a particular order. You can create as many playlists as you wish using D2
Director, and you can also create them on your PC or Mac in one of the supported formats (see
"Preparing your Storage Device" above). You might use them to save sets, or to organize tracks in a
personalised way. You can access and manage playlists from the Playlist option at the top level of the
library.
•
To add a new playlist select Add. A new playlist will appear in the list, with the default name
"New playlist 1/2/3/etc". Any playlists imported into the library from the storage device will
also appear in the list.
•
To delete a playlist select Delete and then Remove to confirm. Once confirmed this cannot
be undone so take care!
•
To rename a playlist select Rename. A dialog will pop up with a text box containing the
playlist name. Edit the text in the usual way, select Done then Rename to confirm.
•
To copy the contents of one playlist to another select Playlist. It is possible to send a
playlist to itself in which case the contents will be duplicated once. The contents of a playlist
can be sent to the Crate by selecting the to Crate option.
•
To browse a playlist, highlight it and press the Push Select knob. A list of tracks in order is
displayed with a set of menu options which refer to the currently highlighted track.

Info
The order of tracks within the playlist is saved so it is possible to re-order them using the Push Select
knob. Highlight the track to be moved and press the control. Rotate to move the track through the list to
its new position and press again or select Done to complete the operation. To drop the track back at its
original position select Undo.
