To create a new track group in PlayIt Live, go to Manage > Track Groups and click the Add New button. This will open the Choose Track Group Type window where you can select from three different types of track groups.

Listed Track Group allows you to manually select specific tracks to add to the group. Choose this option if you want to handpick exactly which tracks belong in the group. You'll then use the > button to move tracks from the available tracks list into your track group.

Filtered Track Group creates a dynamic group based on track properties like Artist, Title, Genre, Year, or Type. This is ideal for automatically grouping tracks that share common characteristics. For example, you could create a filter for "Genre = Rock" or "Year >= 2000 AND Year < 2010" to group tracks from the 2000s. The group will automatically update as you add new tracks that match your criteria.

Grouped Track Group combines multiple existing track groups into a single group. This is useful for creating broader categories that encompass several smaller groups.

Once you've selected your track group type and configured it with a name and settings, you can optionally assign a colour and icon that will appear on the playout log to make different content types easily recognisable. If a track appears in multiple groups, you can set a priority to determine which colour takes precedence.

After creating your track group, it will be available for use in clocks, the playout pattern, and for filtering the track list on the main interface. Track groups are essential for organising your music library and controlling how tracks are scheduled in Live-Assist Mode.
