To create an AutoPlaylist from the contents of My Library:
 

An AutoPlaylist is a playlist you create from the contents of My Library, using filters to sort your tracks by metadata (properties or categories from Track Info). AutoPlaylists are dynamic--they can change as you add and delete tracks to and from My Library.

1. Select New AutoPlaylist from the Rhapsody File menu.
2. Select the Tracks in this AutoPlaylist must meet... checkbox.
3. Use the drop-down menu to choose whether your tracks in your AutoPlaylist will meet All or Any of the rules that you select.
   
   (Selecting All will give you a smaller, more specific playlist. Selecting Any will give you a larger, more varied playlist.)
4. From the first drop-down list, select a metadata category. (For example, Artist, Genre, or Release Year.)
5. From the second drop-down list, a modifier for the rule, such as  contains, does not contain, is, or is not.
6. In the field next to the second drop-down list, type the object of that rule. (For example, an artist name, a genre name, or a release year.)
   
   Some examples of AutoPlaylist rules you might select:
    

   Drop-Down 1	Drop-Down 2	Field(s) You Type In	What Does it Mean?
   Artist	is	Johnny Cash	Include artist Johnny Cash in the AutoPlaylist.
   Release Year	is in the range	1965 to 1990	Include only tracks recorded between 1965 and 1990.
   Rating	is greater than	three stars	Include only tracks that I've rated three stars or higher.

With the AutoPlaylist rules above, Rhapsody will automatically create a playlist for you containing tracks recorded by Johnny Cash between the years 1965 and 1990, that you have rated at three stars or higher.

There are a great many possible AutoPlaylist rules combinations. Experiment with them, and have fun! You can always modify your AutoPlaylist later.

7. Click Add Rule if you wish to have more than one AutoPlaylist rule. That rule will be added, and a new, blank rule will appear.
8. When you have created all the rules you want (You can have from 1 to 10 rules per AutoPlaylist), select how you want to order your playlist from the Arrange track order by drop-down list.
9. Select whether you want your AutoPlaylist to include All track types, streamed Rhapsody tracks only, or imported, downloaded, and purchased tracks only.
10. Select Limit to if you want to limit the length of your AutoPlaylist.
11. If you selected Limit to, type a number into the field (Default: 25). You are selecting the number of tracks to include in your playlist, or the number of minutes your playlist will last.
12. Select tracks or minutes from the drop-down list.
13. Click OK.
    
    Your AutoPlaylist will appear in the Playlists area. It will be updated whenever you add or delete tracks to My Library that match the AutoPlaylist rules.

To rename your AutoPlaylist:

1. Select the AutoPlaylist name in the Playlists area.
2. Click the AutoPlaylist name again.
3. Type in a new name for the playlist.
4. Press [ENTER] on your keyboard.
   
   An AutoPlaylist cannot be directly edited, but you can change the AutoPlaylist rules at any time by right-clicking the AutoPlaylist name in the Playlists area.

To save your AutoPlaylist as a regular playlist:

1. Select New Playlist from the Rhapsody File menu. A new playlist will be added to the Playlists area.
2. Drag your AutoPlaylist name to the new playlist name.
   
   or:

1. Clear the current contents of the Mixer, in the Playlists/Mixer area.
2. Click the Playlists tab in the Playlists/Mixer area.
3. Right-click the AutoPlaylist.
4. Select Add to Mixer from the right-click menu.
5. Click the Mixer tab.
6. Click Save at the bottom of the Mixer window.
