Playlists, groups and tabs ​

Organise your music with playlists and groups, choose the tabs you see, and keep ringtones and voice notes out of the library.

Make a playlist ​

  1. Open the Playlists tab and tap New playlist.

  2. Type a Playlist name and tap Create.

  3. Open the playlist and tap Add songs. Search or scroll, and tap each song you want. Each tap adds that song straight away.

You can also add a single song from anywhere: tap ⋮ next to it and choose Add to Playlist. If you have no playlists yet, RetroBeat says Create a playlist first.

Inside a playlist:

  • Tap Play to play it from the top.
  • Drag songs by their handle to change the order.
  • Choose Remove on a song to take it out of the playlist. The song stays in your library.

To delete a playlist, open the menu on its row in the Playlists tab and choose Delete. The songs themselves are not deleted.

Groups ​

Groups appear on the Groups tab (turn it on in Settings > Tabs). There are two kinds.

Smart groups fill themselves and cannot be deleted:

GroupWhat it holds
FavoritesEvery song you have liked.
Most PlayedYour 50 most played songs.
Recently AddedThe 50 songs added to your device most recently.

Your own groups work like playlists with an emoji and a colour:

  1. On the Groups tab, tap New group.

  2. Type a Group name, pick an Emoji and a Colour, then tap Create.

  3. Add songs with ⋮ > Add to Group, or open the group and add them there.

To delete one of your groups, press and hold it in the list and confirm.

Choose your tabs ​

RetroBeat shows four tabs to start with: Tracks, Albums, Artists and Playlists. Liked, Genres and Groups are turned off.

  1. Open Settings and scroll to Tabs.

  2. Turn a tab's switch on to show it, or off to hide it. Tracks and Playlists are Always shown.

  3. Drag a tab by its handle to change its place in the tab bar.

Leave a folder out of your library ​

Ringtones, notification sounds and voice recordings can end up mixed in with your music. Hide the folders they live in:

  1. Open Settings > Folders.

  2. Turn off the switch next to a folder. Its songs leave the library straight away.

The folder stays in the list, so you can turn it back on later. Nothing is deleted from your phone.

RetroBeat also hides clips shorter than 30 seconds, which are usually ringtones. To include them, turn off Hide short audio in Settings.

Find new music ​

With Auto rescan on (the default), RetroBeat looks for new music each time you open it. To look now, open Settings and tap Rescan library.
