Play music and playlists

Audio files in your Drive play right in Drime. You can play one file, or a whole folder in a player that stays at the bottom of the screen while you keep browsing.

#Play an audio file

Double-click the file. By default it opens on its own, in the preview window.

To play the file and the rest of its folder in the player at the bottom of the screen instead, right-click it and choose Play as playlist.

#Choose what a double-click does

1. Click your avatar, top right, then Settings.

2. In General, find Audio playback.

3. Under Default action when opening an audio file, choose Audio player or Playlist player.

   Playlist player queues up the folder and plays it in the player at the bottom, so you can keep browsing.

   

#Build playlists

• To add a file to a playlist, right-click it and choose Add to playlist, then the playlist. The item appears once you have at least one playlist.

• In the player, New playlist creates a playlist and Save what is playing keeps the current queue as a playlist.

• Remove from playlist takes a track out. Deleting a playlist does not delete the audio files.

Your playlists are the same as in the Drime mobile app.

Audio files in the Trash cannot be played as a playlist or added to one.

#Use the player

The Music player stays at the bottom of the screen while you browse:

• Play and Pause, Previous and Next;

• Shuffle, and the repeat button, which goes from Repeat all to Repeat one to Repeat off;

• Volume and Mute;

• Up next shows the queue: Remove from queue takes a track out of it.

Close player closes the player.

#Manage a playlist

Open Playlists in the player, then a playlist. Click Play to play it, or open Playlist options:

• Add to queue adds its tracks after what is playing;

• Rename changes its name;

• Delete asks Delete playlist?: … will be deleted. The audio files themselves are not touched.

Playlists you make here also show up in the Drime mobile app.
