Overview

The Playlist module contains all playlists that are licensed and added to the Plum Tunes application through the backend system. Similar to the Tracks module, users cannot create playlists directly through the user interface.

Users can only mark an existing playlist as inactive at the global level, which disables the playlist across all store locations.

The summary screen displays the total number of tracks or songs assigned to each playlist, helping users quickly understand playlist composition and usage.

Playlist Information Details

On the Playlist Details screen, users can view the following information:

  • Title of the Playlist – Displays the name of the playlist.
  • Description – Shows the description or purpose of the playlist.
  • Tracks Count – Displays the total number of songs assigned to the playlist.
  • Is Active Flag – Allows users to activate or deactivate the playlist globally for all stores.
  • Shuffle Mode Enabled – When enabled, songs within the playlist will play in random order on the assigned device.

This information helps users understand the configuration and current settings of the playlist, as shown in Figure 1.3.
