Create an AutoPlaylist

Like a regular playlist, an AutoPlaylist plays a series of clips. However, when you create an AutoPlaylist, RealPlayer Cloud searches your media library and automatically creates a fresh mix of clips based on criteria (clip properties) you have specified. The Auto Remix feature sets an AutoPlaylist to remix every time it's played.

Double-click on an AutoPlaylist to open its collection of clips in the Library Display area.

Good to Know

Search results for an AutoPlaylist are based on the information in CD Info and Clip Info.

RealPlayer Cloud includes several default AutoPlaylists already built in. They're based on information such as your clip ratings, dates, or when you last played the clips, so RealPlayer Cloud can automatically group clips into lists such as "Clips from the 80s" and "Clips I like (rating 4-5)." Use these default AutoPlaylists as is, or edit them any way you like. Double-click on a default AutoPlaylist to open its collection of clips in the the Library Display area.
