Appendix D: Creating a Playlist
A playlist tells the Adapter to play your music files in a specific sequence. You can use a playlist with either of
these file extensions, .M3U and .ASX. You can use any software that exports a playlist with one of these two
extensions. For example, Windows Media Player is included with Windows 2000 and XP. (If you are using
Windows 2000, Linksys recommends that you use Windows Media Player version 7 or higher.)
Follow these instructions to create a playlist in Windows Media Player version 7 or higher:
1. Open
Windows Media Player
on the host computer.
2. Click
Media Library
.
3. Click
New Playlist

4. Enter a name for the Playlist, and click the
OK
button. The new Playlist appears on the left.
5. Select the songs you want, and drag them to the Playlist’s name on the left.
6. Drag and drop the songs to arrange them in the order you want them to play.
Follow these instructions to export a playlist to a file in Windows Media Player version 7 or higher:

Before you create a playlist, make sure the songs you want are in a shared media folder that
the Adapter can access.
