Creating a Playlist

Select "Create New Playlist" in the Playlist feature. All playlists require a name; the description field is not required.

Playlists can be specified as either public or private playlists. A playlist's visibility must be selected when it is created and cannot be edited later.

Adding Items To a Playlist

Playlist items are added to playlists individually. When viewing or listening to an item, select the "Add to Playlist" icon located in the media player.

Markers

Markers are similar to bookmarks in other applications: time-based offsets. A marker refers to a specific point in a Playlist Item.
