Selecting a category/playlist/folder
iPod® and certain MP3 players
For an iPod® or MP3 player, you can select tracks using categories or folders.
Depending on the device connected, the
following categories may be available, for
example:
• Current tracklist
• Playlists (e.g. All)
• Artists
• Albums
• Tracks
• Podcasts
• Genres
• Composers
• Audiobooks
Some playback categories contain the
entry All. If this entry has been selected,
the entire content of the category selected
will be played.

Playlists are indicated in the display by a special icon. When you open the playlist, the corresponding tracks are displayed and playback begins once a track is selected. You can now select Category Mix instead of Random Folder as a playback option.
