# Chapter 3. Collections

A collection is a list of midi files that you put in a set, and which are played one after another . This section will help you to use them, and will give you some useful tips to make a good use of them.

# 3.1. Creating a collection

To create a collection, first open the `Collection Manager` dialog, by selecting the `Organize ...` entry of the `Collections` menu . Then click on the `New` button, and write the name you want the collection to have.

You can also copy a complete collection by selecting it and then pressing the `Copy` button, which will ask you for the name of the new collection that will have initially the same songs as the selected collection.

Once you have more than one collection, you can change the active collection from the `Collection Manager`, by selecting it.
