How to Create Playlists in the Naxos Databases (Naxos Music Library, Naxos Music Library Jazz, Naxos Music Library World, Naxos Video Library)

In order to create your own playlist, visit

  • Login with your Professor Playlist username and password. Please see Liza Weisbrod (weisbel@auburn.edu) for this information.
  • Click on the Playlist tab on the left side of the screen and create a folder for your playlists under the “Auburn University Playlists” tab.
  • Once you’ve created a folder for yourself, create a playlist within that folder.
  • Search for and select a CD.
  • Once you are on the album page, select the tracks you want to add by clicking the check-boxes to the left of the tracks.
  • Click the "+" at the top of the page. 
  • A small window will open in which you can select the appropriate tab, folder, and playlist from dropdown boxes.

Note: Naxos Video Library has a slightly different procedure. See the Naxos User Guide for more information and contact Liza Weisbrod for assistance.
