I searched the forum but cannot find a clear answer.

How do I add new songs to an existing playlist I made in MP3Tag?

Thank you!

1. You load the playlist via "File \> Load Playlist" or drag'n'drop and the existing files are listed.
2. Then just add any other files or directories via drag'n'drop from Windows Explorer while holding the Ctrl key down (there is a small + indicating that the files will be added)
3. You can rearrange the files either via drag’n’drop or the cursor keys while holding the Alt key down.
4. You save the playlist using the same name.
