This view shows all the data about each song that has been copied to it from either the Playlist or Song Library views. Playlists can also be opened and saved in this view, and new playlists can be created using some or all of the songs in the list. Some or all of the songs can also be played directly by Windows Media Player, PocketMVP, withMP3, or other PocketPC player. A song is selected by clicking on the checkbox next to its name. The Song List contains columns for Song Title, Album, Artist, Genre, Track, Size, Type, Sort, and Path. Highlighted songs can be moved up or down in the list by clicking on the Up or Down menu icons. Clicking on the header for a column will sort the list by that column. Columns can be rearranged by clicking and dragging the header for the column to be moved. All entries in the Sort column are set to 1 when a playlist is loaded or songs are copied from either the Song Library or Playlist views. This can be changed to a number between 1-999 by clicking on the number which brings up a Sort Order dialog. To sort the list by the entries in the Sort Column, just click on the Sort header. Repeat and Shuffle flags can be set for a playlist file by using the Tools menu. |
