3.5 Playlist Creation and Running
Playing a Playlist
A Playlist is a list of songs that the AV300 will automatically play one after the other. The
AV300 can load one Playlist at a time into its internal memory. You
can create new Playlists, add or delete songs from a Playlist, or Save
a Playlist as a le (le type .m3u) to be used another time. There is no
limit to the number of Playlists you can save on the AV300 hard disk.
Playlists are indicated by a special list icon (circled icon to the left).
