4.5. Working with Playlists

4.5.1. Playlist terminology

Some common terms that are used in Rockbox when referring to playlists:

Directory. A playlist! One of the keys to getting the most out of Rockbox is under-

standing that Rockbox always considers the song that it is playing to be part of a

playlist, and in some situations, Rockbox will create a playlist automatically. For

example, if you are playing the contents of a directory, Rockbox will automatically

create a playlist containing all songs in it. This means that just about anything

that is described in this chapter with respect to playlists also applies to directories.

Dynamic playlist. A dynamic playlist is a playlist that is created “On the ﬂy.” Any

time you insert or queue tracks using the Playlist submenu (see section 4.5.3

(page 34)), you are creating (or adding to) a dynamic playlist.

Insert. In Rockbox, to Insert an item into a playlist means putting an item into a

playlist and leaving it there, even after it is played. As you will see later in this

chapter, Rockbox can Insert into a playlist in several places.

Queue. In Rockbox, to Queue a song means to put the song into a playlist and then

to remove the song from the playlist once it has been played. The only diﬀerence

between Insert and Queue is that the Queue option removes the song from the

playlist once it has been played, and the Insert option does not.

4.5.2. Creating playlists

Rockbox can create playlists in four diﬀerent ways.

By selecting (“playing”) a song from the File Browser

Whenever a song is selected from the File Browser with Right, Rockbox will auto-

matically 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

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

4.5.3 to create a new playlist instead of adding to an existing one. This will erase any

dynamic playlist.
