You can either automatically create playlists in an application such as Musicmatch, or you
can manually create a playlist. If you want to create manual playlists, you can use either
M3U or ASX files.
When playing a music playlist, the Skip button on the remote control will skip the current
track and start playing the next track. Hitting one of the Quick Jump buttons on the remote
(the 0 to 9 buttons) will move you to 10%, 20%, etc in your music playlist.
M3U is pretty simple to create. Here is an example. Just create the file in any text editor and
save it into your music directory with an M3U extension.
C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Music\Sara Mclachlan - Take your .mp3
C:\MyMusic\04-R.E.M. _ Everybody Hurts.mp3
C:\MyMusic\11-Bruce Hornsby & The Range _ The Way It Is.mp3
C:\MyMusic\06-Pink _ Family Portrait.mp3
Here is an example of an ASX playlist. Just create the file in any text editor and save it into
your music directory with an ASX extension.
