<p class="bodytext"><b>Organizing the Playlist</b><br><br>
You can use the arrow keys, <b>Home</b>, <b>End</b>, <b>Page Up</b> and <b>Page Down</b> to move around in the playlist. Once a file is selected within the playlist, hitting <b>Enter</b> or double-clicking on the file with your mouse will begin playback.<br><br>
You can organize the playlist using your mouse by dragging files to different locations in the playlist. To select a range of files, hold down the <b>Shift</b> key while selecting the first and last file within the range. Hold down <b>CTRL</b> to select or deselect multiple files one-by-one in the playlist. To select all of the files in your playlist, hit <b>CTRL-A</b>. To clear your selection, press the <b>ESC</b> key.<br><br>
The <b>DEL</b> key will delete any selected playlist entries. Note that this action will not actually delete the file. It will just remove the file from the playlist. To clear the entire playlist, press <b>CTRL-D</b>.<br><br>
To undo any of your changes to the playlist, use <b>CTRL-Z</b>. To redo them, use <b>CTRL-Y</b>.<br><br>
<p class="bodytext"><b>Sorting the Playlist</b><br><br>
To sort the playlist, click one of the column headers, such as "Artist" or "Song Name". The files will be sorted based on the fields defined within the files' ID3 tags. If no ID3 tags are present, you can still sort the playlist based on filename information.<br><br>
Note that you can click on multiple columns to sort the playlist by multiple fields. Click the least relevant column first, then prioritize any number of columns by clicking on them in ascending order. Click on the primary sort column last.<br><br>
To sort any column in descending or ascending order, click on the column header twice. You will notice the small arrow in the column header change direction. This arrow denotes that the column is sorted in order (down) or reverse order (up).<br><br>
You can re-order the columns in the playlist window by dragging the column headers to different positions. Keep in mind that this action alone will not change the order of your playlist. It will simply change the way in which the playlist is displayed.<br><br>
To change which columns are displayed within the playlist, go to the Setup screen and select <b>Preferences -> Playlist</b>. In this menu, you can toggle the displayed columns by checking or unchecking them.<br><br>
