14.   To play the songs, you have learned to load the songs into the Queue window.  But to save the song list (perhaps for some future use), you shoul load the songs into a Playlist (any one of 1-10).  In this example, we use the Playlist 1.

Press the Save as button and it will open the Save as window as below. In this example, we save the Playlist as “PS159.txt” and press Save.

 

 

 

We recommend that the songs in a CDG disc be first saved in a Playlist.  Then from the Playlist, you can use the Search, Sort, or Preset functions to play the songs or send to Queue which will result in less access to the disc drive and less load to your laptop or PC.  For more details, please refer to the USER’S MANUAL.
