-===== 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:
-{{ :tutorials:general:pasted:20160822-171335.png?600 }}
-The most important areas of the main windows are:
-  - **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 below). Typically, if you use a mixing console (which is recommended), you will have one player per PC channel on your console.
-  - **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.
-===== Working with the playlist =====
-The first thing we learn is to work with the main playlist and players.
-==== Add audio files ====
-Before we can play audio items in the main players A and B, we must add files to the playlist. There are many ways to do this, e.g.:
-  - Drag audio files from Windows Explorer into the playlist
-  - Use the //Insert// button in the main toolbar
-  - Open a playlist file from the menu next to the //Open// button in the main toolbar
-  - Open a directory in the browser area (4), then drag items from the browser into the playlist
-  - ...
-The players are set to Auto Load mode by default, so as soon as you add files to the playlist, the players will load the topmost items automatically:

-==== ASSIST mode ====
-ASSIST mode, also called Live Assist, is the operation mode where a DJ is present and operating the studio manually. It's called live assist because you will find various features that will assist the DJ in this task, e.g. ramp/intro display etc. To start a player, just click the //Play// button:

-Do you see the big red numbers? This is the ramp countdown, because the song happened to have cue points set already. You will learn how to do this using the Cue Editor later in this tutorial.
-Wait for the first song to finish, or click the //Fade Out// or //Stop// button, then start player B:
-{{ :tutorials:general:pasted:20160822-174317.png?400 }}
-Notice that the first song is automatically removed from the playlist and moved to the Recycle Bin browser on the right. This behavior can be adjusted in the config later.
-Starting and stopping the player is usually not something you would do with the mouse in a real studio. Instead, mAirList offers various remote control options. We'll discuss the basics of remote control later in this tutorial.
