Playlist Management
Create and edit new playlists. Form customized playlists before class
to ensure maximum activity time once the lessons begin. Playlists can
be created with speci c themes such as students’ favorite songs, high
BPM songs, or slower paced warm-up songs. Use your creativity and
mix it up!
The playlists saved here appear in the Dance screen and are
available when choosing a song.
To create custom playlists, choose Playlist Select in Song Management
under Administration Mode. Select “Empty” to create a brand new
playlist or any previously created playlists to edit them. Once you
select a playlist, you can choose songs under the Source List and add
them into the Target List. You can rearrange the Source List based on its
title, song length, or tempo to quickly sort through the songs. You can
also delete songs in the playlist by highlighting the song under Target
List and selecting the X icon on the right. You must select the Disc icon
to save a new playlist or update a previous playlist. It will prompt you to
name or rename the playlist to save any changes.
Edit song list
Under Song Management in Administration Mode, you can select
certain songs to be hidden from being played in the game.
NOTE:
If you select a playlist with the song(s) that are hidden, it will still be played in
the game. You will need to delete the specifi c song from the playlist in order
to completely hide it.
