   the purple Copy Tags button.

...

1. Click the Create tab.

2. Select Tagged Playlist in the secondary task bar.

3. Click the Add New Tagged Playlist button.

4. Enter a Name for the new Tagged Playlist and click Create.

5. Click the Edit Name button if you would like to rename the Tagged Playlist at any time.

6. Use the Source Folder tree on the left to define where tagged media can originate from: Only media located in the selected folder will be included in the tagged playlist.

7. Under Media Rules, select whether you want the playlist to match ALL tags or ANY tag:

   1. ALL: For a media file to be included in this Tagged Playlist, it must match all conditions you define in the Media Rules section. The more conditions you add, the more exclusive the playlist will tend to be.

   2. ANY: For a media file to be included in this Tagged Playlist, it only needs to match one of the conditions you define in the Media Rules section. The more conditions you add, the more inclusive the playlist will tend to be.

8. Add as many tagging conditions as desired:

   1. Tag Name: Select a tag from the dropdown menu. The list includes all media tags you've defined in the Library tab, as well as a set of default media attribute tags (FileName, FileSize, UploadDate, etc.) that apply to all media files in your content library. 

   2. Condition: Select a rule to match media with the specified tag.

   3. Value: Enter a value to match with the tag value using one of the above conditions. If you are not using values with tags, use the Is condition and leave this field blank to match all media files with a certain tag.

9. Configure the Settings of the Tagged Playlist:

   1. Content Order Tag: Determine how media files should be automatically ordered in the playlist. Use the first dropdown menu to select a tag: The values of this tag will be used as the ordering crieteria. Use the second dropdown menu to determine if the order should be ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) alphabetically/numerically. 

   2. TTL: Specify how often (in seconds) players will query BSN to determine if there is any new tagged media to include/exclude in the Tagged Playlist.

10. Reorder the playlist if needed by dragging and dropping media files. If newly tagged media is included in the playlist later on, it will be added to the end of the playlist using the Content Order Tag settings outlined above.

11. Click the Save button to save the Tagged Playlist, or click the Save Playlist As... button to create a duplicate copy of the Tagged Playlist.

...

Player tags allow you to filter content in Tagged Playlists on a player-by-player basis. In the below diagram, for example, Tagged Playlist 1 first filters media files according to their "Use" and "Type" tags. The tagged media in the playlist is then matched against the "Use" and "Type" player tags: Media that doesn't have the same tag name/value as the player is excluded from playback on that player.

  

Follow these steps to add tags to a player:

...

1. Select a player that has tags you wish to copy (this process will copy all tags that are associated with the player).

2. Click the  Copy Tags button.

3. Select one or more players to copy tags to. The players can be in the same or different groups.

4. Click Save to complete the copy.
