Using Playlists to Organize Your Content
Reading materials in Capti are organized around the concepts of tracks and playlists. A track is text that you imported into Capti. You can listen to tracks, read them, annotate and highlight, etc. A playlist is an ordered sequence of tracks that you can listen to one after another like a musical playlist. Playlists help organize your reading materials and can be shared with others.
