Created page with '== General Playlist Information == PodTrapper maintains an internal playlist that allows you to automatically add and sort new episodes, so once your playlist is configured you ...'

New page

== General Playlist Information ==

PodTrapper maintains an internal playlist that allows you to automatically add and sort new episodes, so once your playlist is configured you should never have to mess with it again.

On the playlist screen the 'Add Episodes' menu item will bring up a screen allowing you to define your sort criteria for the playlist. When adding to the playlist, episodes can be sorted by these items:

* Podcast Name
* Episode Date
* Playback priority - Configured in the 'Edit Podcast' settings in each podcast
* Episode order - The top episode in a podcast is 1, the next is 2, etc. Deleted episodes aren't included
* Episode order w/deleted - This is the same as episode order, but includes deleted ones when coming up with the number to assign
* Percent Listened
* Episode size (bytes)
* Random

Episode order probably needs the most explanation. Here's an example: If you have two podcasts, each with two new episodes, sorting by episode order will place the newest episodes from each podcast before the second newest episode of either podcast. That way you can be sure that new episodes always show up at the top of the playlist.

'Last Played Episode First' allows you to force that the episode you haven't finished listening to yet ends up at the top of the playlist.

Hitting the menu item to 'Add Items' will then search for matching episodes and sort them into the playlist. If you have 'Keep playlist sorted' set in the general settings screen then any time you add a new item to the playlist it will automatically re-sort the entire playlist according to the last used sort settings. And, if you have 'auto add items to playlist' set in a podcasts settings (via 'Edit Podcast'), newly downloaded episodes will get automatically added to the playlist, and the playlist will re-sort, so you should never have to touch it again and can always go to the playlist and start playing.
