141 | The \setting{Playlist Submenu} allows you to put tracks into a ``dynamic | ||
142 | playlist''. If there is no music currently playing, Rockbox will create a | ||
143 | new dynamic playlist and put the selected track(s) into the playlist. | ||
144 | If there is music currently playing, Rockbox will put the selected track(s) | ||
145 | into the current playlist. The place in which | ||
146 | the newly selected tracks are added to the playlist is determined by | ||
147 | the following options: | ||
148 | |||
149 | \begin{description} | ||
150 | \item [Insert.] | ||
151 | Add track(s) to playlist. If no other tracks have been inserted then the | ||
152 | selected track will be added immediately after current playing track, | ||
153 | otherwise they will be added to end of insertion list. | ||

159 | \item [Queue.] | ||
160 | Queue is the same as Insert except queued tracks are deleted immediately from | ||
161 | the playlist after they've been played. Also, queued tracks are not saved to | ||
162 | the playlist file (see \reference{ref:playlistoptions}). | ||

168 | |||
169 | The \setting{Playlist Submenu} can be used to add either single tracks or | ||
170 | entire directories to a playlist. If the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is | ||
171 | invoked on a single track, it will put only that track into the playlist. | ||
172 | On the other hand, if the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is invoked on a | ||
173 | directory, Rockbox adds all of the tracks in that directory to the playlist. | ||
174 | |||
175 | \note{You can control whether or not Rockbox includes the contents of | ||
176 | sub-directories when adding an entire directory to a playlists. Set the | ||
177 | \setting{Main Menu $\rightarrow$ Playlist Options $\rightarrow$ Recursively | ||
178 | Insert Directories} setting to \setting{Yes} if you would like Rockbox to | ||
179 | include tracks in sub-directories as well as tracks in the currently-selected | ||
180 | directory.} | ||
181 | |||
182 | If you want to have Rockbox create a playlist of a whole folder (to play an | ||
183 | entire album, for example), use the \setting{File Browser} to select the song. | ||
184 | When a single song is selected from the \setting{File Browser}, Rockbox will | ||
185 | automatically create a playlist with all songs in the current folder. However, | ||
186 | if you want to play only a single song and then stop, stop playback, navigate | ||
187 | to the song you want to play, and use the | ||
188 | \setting{Playlist $\rightarrow$ Insert} function to select the song. | ||
189 | |||
190 | Dynamic playlists are saved so resume will restore them exactly as they were | ||
191 | before shutdown. | ||
