Use Smart DJ

Smart DJ automatically creates a playlist of songs with characteristics similar to the Artist that you enter. For

example, if you love The Rolling Stones, you can use Smart DJ to create a playlist of songs by that band and

other similar-sounding bands. Songs for the playlist are pulled from your collection as well as the Xbox Music

store.

In the now playing area of the Music app, tap or click New Smart DJ, type an artist’s name, and then tap the

play icon.

Create a playlist

You can create and save playlists for easy access to your favorite songs. Here’s how:

1. Scroll left in the Music app, and then tap or click my music.

2. Tap or click playlists, and then tap or click Create new playlist.

3. Type a name for your playlist, and then tap or click Save.

4. Select albums or songs in your collection, and then tap or click Add to playlist from the app commands

(swipe down from the top of the screen or right click to open app commands).

Xbox Music Pass

Buy an Xbox Music Pass to get unlimited access to millions of songs, without ever being interrupted by ads.

Stream or download the songs and play them on your PC, tablet, Windows Phone, or Xbox 360. You can even

listen to your music when you’re offline and on the go. Create and save your own custom playlists, or let

SmartDJ create them for you based on the artists you know and love.
