I'm sure this will make sense eventually haha. So, to create my own playlist, can you walk me through where I start from and what command to do? Is it in the sources menu? And then VO shift B? And, I know when I first downloaded an album, I was able to access a list of albums, but now I don't remember how I did it.
So here's what I want to do for now, I want to make a classical list, and add 3 albums to it. Then, I want to make a songs list, and I'll have 2 albums and a few songs to add to it for right now. Can you walk me through step by step how I'd do this? I like the VO shift M way of doing it. In that menu, it will give me an option to add to a playlist? This is really really great information guys! I think I'll get one of those Voiceover podcasts too. I don't know all my commands yet, so its kinda like trying to read a brail book before knowing all the letters lol. Thanks!! Randi Scott Howell wrote: > Esther, thanks, that was what I had wrong.
