The media files on your data carrier can be organized via a playlist. This is a text file named
“

”,
in which a variety of options for each playlist item may be set. A short overview is given

HOW TO CREATE AND USE A PLAYLIST
Create a text file using any text editor.
The items of your playlist must always contain the three obligatory parameters as described and
listed below. After these obligatory parameters, optional parameters can be added in any order.
PLEASE NOTE:
Every parameter (including the last one) must be terminated by pressing the ENTER key.
Every item must be separated from the next item by a blank line.
No blank lines are allowed between the individual parameters.
If your playlist is completed, save it as “PLAYLIST.txt” on the
data carrier. As soon as the p
layer’s data
carrier contains a playlist file, the playback order will be performed as defined in this playlist. If the
playlist is removed from the data carrier, the playback will continue in alphanumeric order again.
