</a></h2>
33 <p>A playlist is a named list of tracks stored by the server. It
34 can be edit by either just its owner or, alternatively, by all
35 users. It can be played as a unit when required.
</p>
37 <p>Playlists fall into three categories:
</p>
41 <td><b>Shared
</b></td>
42 <td>Shared playlists have no owner and can be seen and edited
47 <td><b>Public
</b></td>
48 <td>Public playlist are owned by their creator and can be seen
49 by anybody. Only their creator can edit them, however.
</td>
53 <td><b>Private
</b></td>
54 <td>Private playlists are owned by their creator and can only
55 be seen or edited by their creator.
</td>
60 <p>To bring up the playlist window, select
<b>Edit
> Edit
61 Playlists
</b> from the menu.
