Working with playlists

your individual playlists, also called user playlists for brevity.

The following table lists differences in handling both types of playlists:

	Automatic playlists	Your individual playlists
Create	Created automatically	You can create new lists, anytime
Edit	-	You can add, remove and change individual items on a list, anytime
Sort	Sortable by criteria, e.g. by age of creation	You can order a list by moving tracks up or down
Delete	Automatically deleted after a certain while	You can/must delete lists manually
Rename	-	You can rename lists, anytime

Exporting files to external devices

Exporting media files can be done within the Player as well as within the Media center view. The Player offers basic export functionality. The Media center view offers more flexibility regarding the import and export of sets of files at once.
