But if you're willing to put in just a tiny bit of work, you can take things a step further by categorizing songs, movies, or TV shows into playlists.Playlists are great for binge-watching your favorite episodes of certain shows or for categorizing your movie library by genre or theme.

Creating a PlaylistFirst things first, you'll need to create a playlist. If you're using an Android device, start by selecting any movie, show, song, or album from your library. From there, tap the playlist button on the overview screen, then you'll be prompted to create a new playlist. Enter a name for your playlist in the provided field, then tap "OK." If you're using an iPhone, the process is much the same. Start by selecting any movie, show, song, or album. From there, tap the playlist icon, then on the following screen, tap the + button in the top-right corner. This will create a new playlist that is named after the first movie, show, or song you added to it. Unfortunately, you can't create custom names for your playlists on iPhone. If you want to do that, you'll have to open the Plex web app on your computer, then rename the playlist from there.

Add New Items to Your PlaylistWhen you want to add more items to your playlist, just select a movie, show, or song, then tap the playlist button again — but this time, instead of creating a new playlist, simply select the playlist you already created. You can repeat this process as many times as you'd like in order to create the perfect playlist. Adding an item to an existing playlist on Android (left) and iPhone (right).

After that, you can repeat this same process for as many items as you'd like. If you're using an iPhone, start by swiping down from the top of the playlist.
