Step 1 - Creating an Audio Playlist

Creating an Audio Playlist Audio playlists are very easy to create and add to. The playlist itself must be created before adding audio to it. There are two ways to add audio to the playlist, which will be discussed in the next chapter. This chapter will cover the creation of a playlist. To begin, select from the Share menu, Create Audio Playlist (or click here, it will open a new window). There are some fields that need information inputted.

1. Title - the playlist needs a name, perhaps its an album. this is where to input that.
2. Tags - tags are used to sort content for searches and catagorization. enter the catagories the playlist fits into. if other content has the same catagories, they will drop down as you type.
3. Description - sometimes a desription is necessary, but not always. if it is, this is the place to input that. it will appear above the player.

Below these fields, is a group titled Attach audio files. It is not recommended that this method of uploading audio be used. It will attach audio to the playlist, and will publish the audio to the site, however, it lacks a lot of extra info needed when submitting an audio track to the site. If this is the prefered way of inputtin it, be warned that somethings will not display. See next chapter for details. This should not be compared to the Mass import used in photo albums. If the playlist belongs to a group, select which group(s) it belongs to. Also select which creative commons license should be applied to this playlist if the default share alike license is not correct. Once the submit button is pressed, the playlist will be created. The next chapter will cover how to add audio to the playlist.
