If you find yourself spending as much time organizing your MP3s in the Finder as you do in Audion's playlists, then you may want to consider creating a linked playlist.

A linked playlist will automatically mirror a folder in the Finder. For example, if you have a MP3s folder on your hard-drive and you download some new files into it, when you open up Audion and a linked playlist, it can automatically rebuild itself and add the files you added. Linked playlists will track any additions or deletions to your folder.

Note: Unlike regular playlists, a linked playlist cannot be modified within Audion because it exactly mirrors a folder in the Finder. To modify a linked playlist, you must modify the folder in the Finder.

Creating a linked playlist

To create a linked playlist:


1	Select New Linked Playlist from the File menu.
2	Select the folder on your computer you wish to mirror
3	A linked playlist will open up and will refresh with the contents of the folder you selected.

This allows you to easily organize your playlist to suit your needs.

The following button will appear in the upper right hand corner of all linked playlists. When this button is clicked, the playlist will be refreshed — its contents will be synchronized to the folder it is linked to.



Note: Items in a playlist are merely pointers to files on your hard drive. You should keep your original audio files on your hard drive even after adding them to a playlist.
