You can use the Mixlr playlist to broadcast songs and other recordings as part of your live events. This article will explain how to use the playlist.

To access the playlist you'll need to open your audio settings. Select the mixer icon to open your audio settings.

TIP: this is accessible from both the events screen (above) and the broadcast screen, meaning you can set up your audio before you start your live event and adjust as needed while you're on air.

The Mixlr playlist is the third channel in the Mixlr desktop app.

To add your audio files to the playlist click the 'ADD SOUNDS' button in the bottom left of the app.

This will bring up a file explorer. Navigate to your audio file and select it to add it to your playlist. The Mixlr playlist can accept files in the following formats:
mp3, wav, aif, aiff, flac, ogg, and m4a.

TIP: if you select multiple files here you can add more than one at a time.

You can also add files by dragging and dropping audio files directly onto the playlist section.

Rearranging tracks

Once you have added files to your playlist you can rearrange the order by dragging and dropping the tracks within it. You'll see the name of the track highlighted as you're dragging it.
