Playlist Management
Music can be added to playlists from both the web server and the Serious Play Media Manager. Playlists are a key part to managing your collection as it gives you the ability to group your favorite songs, or songs appropriate for certain occasions in a predefined list that can be played by selecting only the playlist. It is recommended to back-up your playlists regularly. For instructions on backing up playlists, click here.
Managing Playlists from the Web Interface | 
| | Using the Music Library links on the left or searching, navigate to an Artist, Album, Genre or Song.
| 
| | Click on the dark gray Down arrow beside your selection. Hover over Add to Playlist and then choose to add it to either an Existing Playlist or Create New Playlist.
|  | | If Existing Playlist is chosen, a pop-up will appear prompting for you to choose from the selection of existing playlists. Choose the playlist you wish to add the selection to and click OK.
|  | | If Create New Playlist is
chosen, a pop-up will appear prompting you to type in the name of the new playlist. Enter the name for the new playlist and click OK.
|  | | The next time a song is added to a playlist, the server remembers what playlist was last added to in the web server. To maximize playlist management efficiency, it adds it as a suggestion to the drop down list.
