4.3 AUDITIONING A PLAYLIST

After a playlist has been selected, you may listen to part or all of that playlist by using the transport

buttons on the right side of the front panel (PLAY/PAUSE,

SKIP, SKIP

, SCAN, and

SCAN

). Pressing PLAY/PAUSE after a playlist is selected will play from the beginning of the

playlist, light the Track Number indicator, and begin displaying Track Time in the Track Time Display

(the format of which is determined by the TIME DISPLAY button). Pressing

SKIP or SKIP

will skip through the Tracks, while pressing

SCAN or SCAN

will rewind or fast-forward through the Tracks while allowing you to hear

the audio.

Obviously, if there are no Tracks in a playlist, auditioning the playlist will not do anything.

4.4 EDITING A PLAYLIST

After selecting a playlist, you may edit that playlist by pressing the PLAYLIST EDIT button. "Playlist

Edit Mode" is where most of the work will be done when preparing a playlist for eventual CD creation.

While in playlist edit mode, you may:

• Record new Tracks

• Play back previously recorded Tracks

• Delete Tracks

• Change Track order in playlist

• Change Track to Track spacing

• Adjust the volume of a Track

• Add DSP to a Track

• Apply fades to a Track

• Write protect a Track to prevent accidental erasure

• Split a Track

• Join two Tracks

4.4A EMPTY PLAYLISTS

If the PLAYLIST EDIT button is pressed and there are no Tracks recorded in the playlist, the screen

will indicate that you have an "empty" playlist, as shown in Figure 4.4.1.

Figure 4.4.1

Playlist Edit Page – Empty Playlist.

Tracks can be added to an empty playlist in several ways:

• By using the NEW TRACK button and then recording using the analog or digital inputs

• By moving a pre-existing Audio File into a playlist (more about Audio Files in Chapter 4, Page 9)

• By moving a Track from a Red Book or CD24 CD into a playlist (see Chapter 7: CD Mode

Operation for details.)
