Le scalette

Playlists are sources which are created from the tracks available in the Library source. They enable you to gather tracks following a particular 'genre', a specific group of artists, or even tracks that are of a particular 'mood', or whatever you want.

Rhythmbox Music Player has 2 kinds of playlists:

  • Static Playlists
  • Smart Playlists

Rhythmbox consente di masterizzare le tracce delle scalette su un CD audio.

9.1. Scalette statiche

Le scalette statiche sono scalette create dalle tracce prese dalla Libreria.

9.1.1. Creare una scaletta statica

To create a new playlist, choose Music ▸ Playlist ▸ New Playlist. An empty playlist without name appears in the side pane. Enter a name for the playlist and press Enter.

9.1.2. Aggiungere tracce a una scaletta

To add tracks to a playlist, select tracks from the track list from the library and drag and drop your selection over the playlist icon in the side pane.

È anche possibile trascinare un genere, un artista o il nome di un album dal catalogo per creare una scaletta. Tutte le tracce associate verranno aggiunte automaticamente.

You can create a playlist with tracks in one action. Select tracks from the Tracks List, or directly one or more categories from the browser (Genre, Artist or Album) and drop the selection over the Side pane. It will automatically create a named playlist.

9.1.3. Rimuovere tracce da una scaletta

To remove tracks from a playlist, first select the tracks to remove, and then you have two methods:

  • Choose Edit ▸ Delete.
  • Right-click over the selection and choose Delete.
This operation deletes the track only from playlist and not from the Library.

9.1.4. Eliminare una scaletta statica

To delete a static playlist, select the playlist to delete, then you have two ways to delete it:

  • Choose Edit ▸ Delete.
  • Right-click over the playlist and choose Delete.
This operation deletes only the playlist and not the tracks stored in the playlist deleted.

9.2. Scalette automatiche

Smart Playlists are playlists built from criteria, so tracks are added to it dynamically; all of the tracks matching the criteria will be added to the playlist.

9.2.1. Creare una scaletta automatica

  2. Edit the playlist criteria through the query editor.
  3. Once your criteria have been chosen, click New to create the query.

Editing a smart playlist lets you modify the criteria set for this playlist. To edit a smart playlist, select the smart playlist, choose Music ▸ Playlist ▸ Edit, and edit the criteria. Once done, choose Close.

9.2.3. Rimuovere una scaletta automatica

To delete a smart playlist, select the playlist to delete, then you have two ways to delete it:

  • Choose Edit ▸ Delete.

9.2.4. Usare l'editor di interrogazioni

Scegliere il criterio da applicare alla regola. Se è necessario aggiungerne un altro, fare clic su Aggiungi, comparirà una nuova riga per impostare il nuovo criterio.

Per limitare il numero di tracce in una scaletta, selezionare Limita a: e scegliere il limite. È possibile limitare in base alle tracce, alla dimensione totale (in MB o GB) oppure in base alla durata (espressa in Minuti).

Once you finish setting the criteria for the playlist, choose New; the playlist query editor window will close, and the playlist will display the tracks matched by your criteria.
