	Playlists are lists of files from the Library, arranged in a set order. Playlists can be used to create a mix of files that you wish to play or sync to a portable device. There are 2 types of Playlists in MediaMonkey. Regular Playlists, which will be discussed below and [[{{WebHelp:Links\|Using AutoPlaylists}}\|AutoPlaylists]]. Whereas Playlists allow you to add individual files and manually rearrange the order of files on the Playlists, [[{{WebHelp:Links\|Using AutoPlaylists}}\|AutoPlaylists]] are Criteria based and don't allow manual adjustment.
