Create a Playlist

Playlists are your own custom groupings of songs that RealPlayer Cloud will play in sequence. Found in the Library under Playlists, playlists take up very little space on your hard drive, because each is simply a list of shortcuts to the media files you have grouped together.

See Playlists for more information.

Note:Photos cannot be a part of any playlist.

Create a Playlist

1. Open the Library.
2. Select the specific items that you want in the playlist by highlighting them.
3. In the task bar, click Organize and select Add to New Playlist. The "New Playlist" wizard opens.
4. Type the name of your new playlist in the space provided.
5. Choose the items for your playlist.

• To create a playlist from all the items currently listed in the Library, select "All items in current view."
• To create a playlist from only the selected (highlighted) items in the Library, select "Selected items in the current view."
• To create a an empty playlist with no items (you can add items later), select "Make an empty playlist."

6. Click OK. RealPlayer Cloud places the new playlist under the Playlists category in the Library.

To play the playlist, select it from the Playlists category and click the Play button on the Player Control bar. The items play in order, from top to bottom.

Good to Know
