By selecting (“playing”) a song from the File Browser
Whenever a song is selected from the
File Browser
with
Select
or
Right
, Rockbox
will automatically create a playlist containing all of the songs in that directory and start
playback with the selected song.
Note:
If you already have created a dynamic playlist, playing a new song will
erase
the
b
current dynamic playlist and create a new one. If you want to add a song to the current
playlist rather than erasing the current playlist, see the section below on how to add
music to a playlist.
By using Insert and Queue functions
If playback is stopped, the
Insert
and
Queue
functions can be used as described in
to create a new playlist instead of adding to an existing one. This will
erase
any
dynamic playlist.
By using the Playlist catalogue
The
Playlist catalogue
makes it possible to modify and create playlists that are
not currently playing. To do this select
Playlist catalogue

included in the catalogue. It is however possible to move existing playlists there (see
