Playlist, blah-blah-blah.m3u. Standard text file with the names of the
selections you want played in the order you want them played. If you put the
selections in subdirectories/folders, you must put the name of the folder
followed by a backslash "\", in front of the selection name. You can get the
raw list by using Winamp.

Hi Gary. I'm not sure what you mean by making a play list? How do I do
that?
They talk about it on the Winamp For The Blind list.
If you'd like to write me off-list, my email address is at the bottom of
this message. Thanks bunches!
