To browse the media in your library, click the “Media Library” folder in the upper left-hand corner of the page. This will launch the media library browser, which is organized into the following panes:

Playlist List

Displayed along the entire height of the left edge of the window, this pane lists all of the playlists you have created (as described in section 6 above), as well as a folder for your media itself.

• To manage the tracks in a playlist (described under Managing Playlist Tracks below), click on one of the playlists in the list.

• To enable or disable a playlist, right-click on it and select Enable/Disable Playlist.

• To return to your media library, click on the Media Library folder at the top of the list.

  Artist List

Displayed to the upper left, this pane contains the list of all of the artists in your media library (or, if performing a search, only the artist matching your search criteria are displayed).

• To select an artist, click on its entry in the list, or hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select multiple artists.

• To add all of an artist's tracks to a playlist, select one or more artist(s), then drag them with your mouse and drop them on the desired playlist.

• To rename an artist, right-click on its entry in the list and select Rename artist.

Album List

Displayed to the upper right, this pane contains the list of all of the albums by the artists selected in the Artist List (described above). If no artists are selected, no albums will be displayed.

• To select an album, click on its entry in the list, or hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select multiple albums.

• To add all of an album's tracks to a playlist, select one or more album(s), then drag them with your mouse and drop them on the desired playlist.

• To rename an album, right-click on its entry in the list and select Rename album.
  

  Track List

Displayed across the lower portion of the page, this pane contains the list of all of the tracks in the albums selected in the Album List (described above). If no albums are selected, no tracks will be displayed.

• To select an track, click on its entry in the list, or hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select multiple tracks.

• To add the selected track(s) to a playlist, drag them with your mouse and drop them on the desired playlist.

• To hear an short (several second) sample of the selected track(s), click the Preview track(s) button (in the lower right-hand corner of the page) after selecting one or more tracks, or right-click on a track and click Listen to Preview.

• To rename a track, right-click on its entry in the list and select Rename track.

Note that when you drag and drop an artist, album, or track onto a playlist, it is immediately and instantly added to that playlist. No further saving is necessary.

If the playlist's status is “enabled” and your administrator has setup Centova Cast to use realtime track scheduling, the new track(s) will immediately become eligible for playback after the current song completes. If realtime track scheduling is not in use, you will need to re-start your server for the changes to take effect.
