Organizing MP3s into playlists

    A playlist is a collection of MP3 songs grouped together into an easily manageable list. A playlist can be used to create long running sets of MP3 files, limited only by your imagination.

    To create and listen to a playlist:
    1 Open the Window menu and select Playlist Window.
    2 Drag and drop MP3 files, or folders/volumes filled with MP3s from the Finder into the Playlist Window.
    3 Click the Order sort button, and move the items in your playlist up and down the list by dragging to organize it to your choosing.
    4 Use the Mode button to set Audion in MP3 mode.
    5 Hit the Play button to begin playing the playlist.

    Your playlist will begin playing from top to bottom according to the order.

    Tip: You can double click a song in a playlist to start playing from that song.

    You can save your playlist by opening the File menu and selecting Save Playlist. If you forget to save your playlist, Audion will remind you.

    If you find yourself switching between playlists often, create a folder named "playlists" inside the same folder as Audion and place your playlists inside of it. Audion will then automatically build your lists into the Playlist pull-down menu. This makes it really easy to switch between your favorites sets of songs without having to touch the Findert: simply select the one you want from the Playlist menu.

    Tip: Try creating playlists based on mood: an energetic one for those late night crunches, or a romantic one for those hot dates, etc.
