# Generate playlists

IXM One can automatically generate playlist content from selected spot groups.

To enable automatic playlist generation, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Content > Playlist** and [create a new playlist](/grassfish/docs/work-with-playlists).
2. In the **Content of playlist** pane, select **Tools >** **Generate playlist**.
3. In the **Generate playlist** window, specify the following settings for the playlist:

| **Total number of spots** | Specify how many spots are taken over in the playlist. By default, it's 10 spots. |
| --- | --- |
| **Spot selection** | Select one of the following options for spot selection: - **Random** - **Oldest first** - **Newest first** |
| **Activate audio split** | Optionally, turn this setting on if you have an [audio channel](/grassfish/docs/assign-audio-channels) in the playlist. |
| **Shuffle playlist** | Select to change the order of spots in the playlist randomly. |
4. Drag the desired spots from the pane **Available spot groups** to the pane **Assigned spot groups**.
5. Use the slider next to a selected spot group to specify how many spots from the spot group to use for a playlist.
6. Optionally, click **X** to remove a spot group from the **Assigned spot groups**.
7. Click **Run** and confirm with **Yes**. The playlist is created according to the selected criteria.
