====== Getting Started with mAirList ======

This article will give you a quick overview of the mAirList Radio Automation (version 6.3) and will help you to get started with the software.


===== Main window overview =====

We are now ready to run mAirList for the first time. This is what the main window (or playout window) looks like:

The most important areas of the main windows are:

  - **[[tutorials:general:getting-started:v6_3:v6_3_playlist|Playlist]]**: This is where you load or insert the audio files to be played in your rundown.
  - **Players**: They will be used to play the audio items from the playlist (1). In the default setup, there will be two players named A and B, but you can change the number and names of the players in the configuration app (see "[[tutorials:general:getting-started:v6_3:v6_3_config|Basic configuration]]").\\ Typically, if you use a mixing console (which is recommended), you will have one player per PC channel on your console.
  - **[[tutorials:general:getting-started:v6_3:v6_3_cartwall|Cartwall]]**: Contains slots/players for additional audio files. Often used for things like jingles or music beds. 
  - **Browser**: In this area, you can add tabs with file browsers, database etc. for easy access to your audio files and playlists.
