SC supports a wide range of playlist formats, including .wpl. As others have said, .wpl is far from standard - .pls and .m3u are much more common. .wpl is also proprietory to Windows. Not sure if you are aware from your other posts, but SC is cross platform and works on Mac and Linux too. There are increasing numbers of people out there who don't use Windows. So if .wpl was the "only" playlist format supported, people with Macs/Linux OS wouldn't be able to use SC, people who have .mp4 files couldn't use SC and if SC created its playlists in .wpl format they would probably have to pay some kind of licence fee to Microsoft, because it's a proprietory format. Personally, I think it's very helpful that the designers have gone for the approach of supporting a wide range of formats. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
