Playlists

Playlists let you organize songs into collections for different performances, venues, or occasions. The Playlists sidebar shows all your playlists, displaying each playlist's name, number of songs, and autoplay setting. Tap a playlist to view and edit its contents.

Managing Playlists

Editing a Playlist

Select Edit from the context menu or tap the icon in the left swipe menu. You can change the playlist's name, color, and autoplay setting. You can also manage keywords for the playlist, which works similarly to editing keywords for songs.

Sorting Playlists

Sort options are available in the More Options menu in the navigation bar. You can sort by name or date added, in ascending or descending order.

Toggle the filter with the filter icon in the bottom toolbar. This allows you to quickly switch between filtered and unfiltered views. Tap Filtered by to configure the filter, which opens a dialog where you can filter playlists by color and keywords.

Folders

Playlists can be organized in a folder hierarchy. Folders can contain subfolders with no limit to the depth.

• Create a folder: Select Add Folder from the More Options menu in the navigation bar.

Editing Playlist Contents

Tap a playlist to open it and view its contents. The bottom toolbar shows the number of songs and total playback duration. Tap a song to load it into the player and queue the remaining songs.

You can number songs by enabling Show Song Numbers in the More Options menu in the navigation bar. Use the search box at the top to quickly find songs by title or artist within the playlist.

Adding Songs

Tap the button in the bottom toolbar to open the Song Picker. The picker shows all songs in your library with the same filter, sort, and search options as the Songs view. Songs already in the playlist appear grayed out but can be added again if needed.

Use Select All or Deselect All in the More Options menu to toggle selection. Set the Insert Position option to control where songs are added: at the top, bottom, or after the currently playing song. Tap Add to add the selected songs to the playlist.

Removing Songs

Select Remove from Playlist from the context menu or tap the icon in the left swipe menu.

Reordering Songs

Drag and drop songs using the drag handle to reorder them manually. You can also automatically reorder songs by selecting Reorder Songs by in the More Options menu, which offers sorting by title or shuffling into a random order.

Adding Songs to the Queue

• Play Next: Adds the song to the top of the queue. Available in the context menu or via the icon in the right swipe menu.
• Add to Queue: Adds the song to the bottom of the queue. Available in the context menu or via the icon in the right swipe menu.
• Add from Here: Adds the selected song and all following songs to the bottom of the queue. Available in the context menu.

Autoplay and Loop

By default, playback stops after each song. The title area shows the playback mode for the current song and can be tapped to change it.

You can enable autoplay for the entire playlist with the button in the bottom toolbar, which plays all songs continuously without pausing. To control playback per song, select Toggle Autoplay from the context menu or tap the icon in the left swipe menu.

To loop a song, select Toggle Loop from the context menu or tap the icon in the left swipe menu. The song repeats until you disable loop in the title area.

Sharing a Playlist

Select Share Playlist from the More Options menu in the navigation bar to choose a sharing format:

• Plain Text: A text file listing the playlist contents.
• Playlist File: A Stage Traxx playlist file that can be imported into another Stage Traxx instance. Songs are matched by title and artist, so songs missing from the target library will be skipped.
• Playlist with Songs: A complete archive containing the playlist and all song assets. This can fully restore the playlist and songs on another device but may be quite large.

Batch Editing Songs

Enable batch edit mode by selecting Batch Edit from the More Options menu in the navigation bar. Select songs by tapping the circle indicator to the left of each song, or use Select All / Deselect All in the navigation bar.

The bottom toolbar provides these actions for selected songs:

• Share: Export songs as a Stage Traxx song archive
• Remove: Remove songs from this playlist
