A playlist is a selection of tracks you can choose to listen to rather than your entire music library. You create and edit playlists from the Playlist Manager view. CATraxx will let you create two types of playlists: "Manual" and "Dynamic".

A manual playlist is a playlist where you manually add tracks to the playlist. You add the tracks from either the Album View or the Track View.

A dynamic playlist is a playlist based on a filter. For example, this can be "5 star" tracks, live recordings, tracks produced by a specific producer, tracks where a specific musician appears, or tracks you have not played the last 3 months. You can filter on any data field in the Album and Track tables. The playlist can also be randomized. The contents of a dynamic playlist is automatically updated as you add, edit and delete information in the database.

You can play your playlists from the Explorer View (playlists flagged as "favorite"), the Playlist Manager view or the separate CATraxx Audio Player application.
