141The \setting{Playlist Submenu} allows you to put tracks into a ``dynamic
142playlist''. If there is no music currently playing, Rockbox will create a
143new dynamic playlist and put the selected track(s) into the playlist.
144If there is music currently playing, Rockbox will put the selected track(s)
145into the current playlist. The place in which
146the newly selected tracks are added to the playlist is determined by
147the 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.
154\item [Insert next.]
155 Add track(s) immediately after current playing track, no matter what else has
156 been inserted.

158 Add track(s) to end of playlist.
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}).
163\item [Queue next.]
164 Queue track(s) immediately after current playing track.
165\item [Queue last.]
166 Queue track(s) at end of playlist.

169The \setting{Playlist Submenu} can be used to add either single tracks or
170entire directories to a playlist. If the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is
171invoked on a single track, it will put only that track into the playlist.
172On the other hand, if the \setting{Playlist Submenu} is invoked on a
173directory, 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

179 include tracks in sub-directories as well as tracks in the currently-selected
180 directory.}
181
182If you want to have Rockbox create a playlist of a whole folder (to play an
183entire album, for example), use the \setting{File Browser} to select the song.
184When a single song is selected from the \setting{File Browser}, Rockbox will
185automatically create a playlist with all songs in the current folder. However,
186if you want to play only a single song and then stop, stop playback, navigate
187to the song you want to play, and use the
