On first launch, an empty playlist will open.

First, let's add playback media to the playlist with the "+" button.

Add Playback Media

When you tap the "+" button, a menu like this will appear.

Music:

You can add songs from your Music Library.

  • Songs that have not been downloaded to the device cannot be added. If not, download it in the Music application and then add it.
  • Protected music such as Apple Music cannot be added.

Movie:

You can add video files registered in "Photos".

File:

You can add video or music files that can be handled with the "Files" app.

If you have multiple playlists, you can add media registered in other playlists to the current playlist.

After you add playback media to your playlist, you will see a list like this.

  • It is also possible to arrange videos and music files in the same playlist.

A marker is a memorization of a specific playback position, and when selected, playback starts from that position. Loop playback (AB loop playback) is also possible by specifying the playback end point.

 

A list that stores multiple markers is called a marker list.
