Genre. Another drop-down menu. This one lets you see only the

songs that are Country, Jazz, Pop, Rock, or whatever.

Whenever you’ve drilled all the way down to a list of songs (from a certain

band or on a certain album, for example), checkboxes appear as you point
to each song’s name. As soon as you start checking boxes, a strip of options
appears at the bottom of the screen, referring to what you want to do with

these selected musics: Play them, add them to a playlist (+), or delete them.
There are also buttons for Cancel (select nothing) and “Select all.”

In Albums and Artists view, clicking or tapping takes you to further
information screens, with options like Play, Add to (play list), Show artist,

Pin to Start, Edit Info, and Delete.

Recent Plays

Here’s a list of songs you’ve played lately.

Now Playing

Whenever music is playing, no matter how far you’ve meandered in Groove

Music, the “Now playing” button in the list at left ( ) summons a full
screen of information. It shows the album art, the list of songs from that

album, and a “Save as a playlist” button.

Tip
Groove Music’s taskbar icon sprouts basic playback controls that appear when you point to it (or
tap with your finger).

Playlists

A playlist is a group of songs you’ve placed together, in a sequence that
makes sense to you. One might consist of party tunes; another might hold

romantic dinnertime music; a third might be drum-heavy workout cuts.
