What is a list action?

A list action is an instruction, given by the system to an item in a playlist, to behave in a certain manner.

Types of list actions

Play Next
This list action is automatically assigned to content being added to a playlist & serves as an instruction for the content to play in sequence from top to bottom.
Loop
This list action is usually added to the last item in a playlist & is an instruction for the system to loop back to the first item in the playlist.
