Editing the playlist
How to use the powerful playlist editor?
Using the mouse
You may change the order of entries by dragging them from
one place to another. Clicking the right mouse button on the playlist
window or on a playlist entry will bring up a context menu containing
a list of actions. Below is a description of each possible action.
Open File(s)/Directory/URL
Opening a file (track, playlist or directory) will clear the
main playlist, insert the selected file(s) into it and start
playing from the first entry in the main playlist.
Add File(s)/Directory/URL
Adding a file (track, playlist or directory) will cause
the selected file(s) to be appended to the main playlist without
affecting the player status. On a playlist entry the file(s)
will be appended to the selected playlist.
Add Random Entry
Adds a new random entry to the main playlist and opens the
Random entry properties dialog
for it. See Apollo Advanced Playlist
for details on random entries.
Add New Playlist
Adds a new empty playlist into the main playlist.
Save Main Playlist As
Saves the main playlist into a file. If the main playlist
consists of only one playlist this action will save its contents.
Flatten Main Playlist
Recursively removes all playlists from the playlist and inserts
their contents to their respective positions. After this operation
the main playlist will contain all the tracks and random entries
in unaltered order but without the tree-like playlist structure.
Sort Main Playlist
Sorts the entries of the main playlist by the property or ID3 frame you selected.
Find
Lets you search for a certain entry by entering part
of its title. The search begins from the current position.
Find Next
Repeats the previous find operation.
Play (on any entry)

Insert File(s)/Directory/URL/Random Entry/New Playlist (on any entry)
Inserting is just like adding, but instead of appending
the entries are inserted to the currently selected position.
Play (on any entry)
Starts playback from the current selection. Holding down Control
will cause a crossfade to the selected entry.
Incorporate Item(s) Into New Playlist (on any entry)

Delete (on any entry)

a playlist causes all its entries to be removed recursively.
