Automatic Play Lists

There are two ways to create play lists, manually and automatically (See also Manual Play Lists). To create Automatic Play Lists, click on the Auto button of the Play List Control tool bar. This is a feature which creates automatic playlists based on your sorting preferences. Clicking on this button will take you to another page which will guide you through the selection process.

The first thing you will be asked is to define the length of the desired music program. You then select the First Criteria category from the list of choices. For example, you can have the jukebox select only tracks from your "Classic Rock" titles. To further define your playlist, you can then continue with Second and Third Criteria categories. For example, select only "Classic Rock" titles with a preference rating "Excellent" (second criteria) and which are appropriate for "Party" situations (third criteria). You may select more than one category in a criteria choice simply by control-clicking on multiple categories.

The And / And Not feature allows you to either include or exclude that category in your playlist. By selecting "And", you are telling the jukebox to look only for songs within the category selected. By selecting "And Not", you are telling the jukebox to exclude songs from this category. In the above example, if you had chosen "Party" and "And Not" for the third criteria, the MusicMatch Jukebox would select all your classic rock titles with an excellent rating which you have listed as appropriate for situations other than parties. Thus, it would select "Dinner" excellent/classic rock, "Romantic" excellent/classic rock, "Dance" excellent/classic rock, etc.
