Playlists allow you to curate shows and schedule them on your station calendar. You can form playlists from either tracks or tags, they will always play in the order you add them. To get started head to Playlists in the dashboard sidebar then click on 'Create Playlist' in the upper right of the page.

Fill out the Playlist Name, Title, Artist, Colour and Upload the image. Next click 'Submit'.

The Playlist editor will then open. On the left side of the dashboard, you will see your tracks, tags, recordings & voice tracks. The last 50 tracks uploaded can be found (latest first) under Recently Added. If you are looking for a specific files or tags use the search box at the top of the screen.

To add items (tags, tracks, recording or voice tracks) to a playlist simply select the correct tab and drag them over from left to right. If you are on a touchscreen device you may find it easier tapping the + button next to each item.

Once items have been added you can re-order them by clicking and dragging on the right-hand list. As you add tracks the playlist duration will increase giving you a rough estimate of your playlist run time. If you use tags in the playlist we cannot show an accurate runtime as we are unable to determine the length of the tracks that would air.

If you wish to add a track to the start or end of the playlist, you can use the arrows circled in the above screenshot.

Once the playlist is complete click the red 'Save Changes' button in the upper right.
