The chapter describes playlist and how to use them.
+ +A playlist is a named list of tracks stored by the server. It + can be edit by either just its owner or, alternatively, by all + users. It can be played as a unit when required.
+ +Playlists fall into three categories:
+ +| Shared | +Shared playlists have no owner and can be seen and edited + by anybody. | +
| Public | +Public playlist are owned by their creator and can be seen + by anybody. Only their creator can edit them, however. | +
| Private | +Private playlists are owned by their creator and can only + be seen or edited by their creator. | +
To bring up the playlist window, select Edit > Edit + Playlists from the menu.
+ +To create a playlist, click the Add button in the + playlist editor. This will create a pop-up window where you can + enter the name of the new playlist and decide whether it is + shared, public or private.

You can select the playlist to edit from the left side of the + window. Shared playlists are listed first, then the public + playlists of each user (plus private playlists that you own).

When a playlist is selected, you can edit in the right hand half + of the playlist window. The editor is very similar in structure + and function to the queue. You can + rearrange tracks within it by drag and drop and you can drag tracks + from the Choose tab into it.
