Saved Playlists
Introduction
Saved playlist is a traditional type of playlist. Saved playlists work like Amarok's current playlist, saved in the Amarok Database or your file system for later use. Sharing your saved playlists with your friends is easy and it can be fun to use them at events when you have specific songs you want played.
Saved playlists can be created with Amarok or imported from your file system. Creating a saved playlist is very easy with the exact songs and order that you want.
