The power of playlists
Playlists are compilations of songs and video. You could, for example, create a playlist of your favorite songs or of songs perfect for an occasion, such as a birthday party. You can play the songs in the order you specify or you can use the shuffle feature, which plays songs in random order. You can create as many playlists as you like.
Smart Playlists update automatically as your library changes. For example, if you create a Smart Playlist of songs by a particular artist, when you add new music by that artist, the songs are automatically added to the Smart Playlist.
You can do the following with playlists:
- Listen to playlists on your computer
- Sync playlists with an iPod or iTunes-enabled mobile phone
- Use iTunes to burn playlists to CDs or DVDs
- Share, or "stream," your playlists or your entire iTunes library with other computers in your home over a network (wired or wireless)
- Publish a playlist to make it available in the iTunes Store (a published playlist is called an "iMix")
