PlayIt Live offers three different types of track groups to help you organise and categorise your tracks:

Listed Track Groups These allow you to manually group specific tracks together by selecting them from a list. This is ideal when you have simple categories of tracks you want to group together, such as specific songs for a themed show or handpicked tracks for a particular presenter.

Filtered Track Groups These create dynamic groups based on track properties and criteria you define. You can filter tracks by fields such as Artist, Title, Genre, Year, Type, or Duration using operations like equals, contains, greater than, or starts with. For example, you could create a filter for "Year >= 2020" to automatically include all tracks from 2020 onwards, or "Genre = Rock" to group all rock music.

Grouped Track Groups These combine multiple existing track groups into a single group. This is useful when you want to merge different categories together, such as combining your "Rock" and "Pop" track groups into a broader "Contemporary Music" group.

Additional features for all track group types:

• Colour coding: Assign colours to track groups so tracks appear with visual indicators on the playout log
• Custom icons: Add icons to help identify different types of content at a glance
• Priority settings: When tracks appear in multiple groups, set which group's colour/icon takes precedence
• Hidden groups: Hide track groups from the main interface selector when needed

Track groups are essential for organising your music library and are used throughout PlayIt Live in clocks, playout patterns, and scheduling strategies.
