# Playlist

Playlist represents right-sided panel, where placed queue of files to play.

Playlist has its own control panel, pop-up menu and, usually, block of three buttons on main Light Alloy's control panel.

Playlist has two modes:

- simple (including audio mode);
- folders mode.

You can switch between them via drop-down menu of Playlist button.

## Simple playlist

In simple playlist queue of files is produced by user and auto search & add function. You can move files wiht mouse, and add new files to random position. Although, files can be played not just in order, but also with random order. Also you can set repeat one file.

You can use two functions for this:

- repeat playlist;
- repeat file.

### Adding files to playlist

On adding files to playlist process significantly effect this option:

It handles behavior of Open File and Add files to playlist buttons, also dragging selected files to random parts of player (dragging files to: playlist panel, video panel and control panel works differently a bit).

If you set "always add", both buttons and dragging files when adding new files saves old files too. If you set "always replace", both buttons and dragging clear the playlist before adding new files. "Universal mode" implements traditional for Light Alloy behavior scheme, when Add files to playlist do not clear playlist, but Open File - do. Dragging files (except dragging on playlist) in universal mode also clear the playlist.
