Playlist Selection
The Playlist Selection panel is on the left side of the Library window. The Fidelia Library and the iTunes Library are automatically made available here.

The bottom of the Playlist Selection panel displays three buttons (ordered from left to right):
- Create New Playlist
- Shuffle Tracks
- Repeat, which has three modes: Off, Repeat All, and Repeat Current Song.

Columns can be hidden or revealed using the View menu. Choose as many or as few columns as you wish to display from the list.
Once viewable, a column can also be reordered. Simply click the column name and drag horizontally to desired position.
