Creating a Playlist

In MixMeister, the Playlist area shows the list of songs in the order that MixMeister will play them.

To start a new Playlist

  1. From the File menu, choose New Playlist.

  2. Drag songs from the Catalog, and drop them onto the new Playlist. 

Tips

To direct MixMeister to process a song sooner

Because of all the work MixMeister does in the background, cataloging a song can take awhile—anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes per song—particularly if you're importing hundreds of songs into the Catalog. You may notice, if you're eager to start building a Playlist, that MixMeister hasn't finished—the music plot is blank and no beats per minute (BPMs) show up either in the Catalog or the Playlist. In that case, you can get MixMeister to process a song sooner so you can work with it right away.

To open an existing Playlist

  1. From the File menu, choose Open Playlist.

  2. In the Open Playlist box, click the Playlist you want, and click Open.

To add a Playlist to the end of the current Playlist

To save a Playlist

A Playlist stores all of the playback settings that you have configured in the Playlist and the Timeline. This includes the list of tracks and individual track settings.

  1. From the File menu, choose Save Playlist.

  2. Click the Save In down arrow, and browse to locate the folder where you want to store the file.

  3. Double-click the folder, and type a name for the file in the File Name box.

  4. Click Save.

To save a Playlist with a different name, in another format, or in a new location

  1. From the File menu, choose Save As Playlist.

  2. If you're saving the Playlist in another folder, click the Save In down arrow, browse to locate the folder where you want to store the Playlist, and double-click it.

  3. If you're changing the name of the Playlist, type a new name in the File Name box.

  4. If you're saving the Playlist in another formatfor example, one that's supported by another MP3 player, such as WinAmpclick the Save As Type down arrow, and click the new format.

  5. Click Save.

Note Other MP3 players do not support all of the features in a MixMeister Playlist, so some of your mix settings might not be stored in that format. To make sure that you save all of your settings, use the MixMeister format.
