Talk like a Tethyr

Tethyr has its own special jargon. For simplicity, when we use an abbreviation we use it as singular even if it is plural in the usage. So the sentence “you want to share all the playlists” would be “you want to share all the pList”.

You can Tethyr this page if you want.

Playlist Group (pGroup)

A collection of playlists that can be shared and edited. Playlist Groups work like profiles in TYR. Changing a pGroup is like changing the channel. You can break up your interests, tasks, jobs into different pGroup. For example you can have one for work, one for your hobbies and one for your family stuff.
