My Playlist, My Friend
Hooray for everything!
That being said, here’s a practical way to create a playlist for your favourite music player. Imagine that you’ve placed a collection of MP3 tracks in a folder at “f:\Various\17 Songs About a Girl”.
1. Open a command prompt. This can be found by clicking on the Start menu, menu Programs, submenu Accessories.
2. Type the following into the scary dark window:
f:
cd \Various”17 Songs About a Girl”
dir /b /on *.mp3 > playlist.m3u
3. Now you can double click on the file playlist.m3u, or drag-and-drop it into the music player and all of the songs will be loaded in one shot.
4. Advanced You can edit the file playlist.m3u in any text editor, including Notepad (or something more civilized). This is a good way to exclude or add songs, or change their order.
If it doesn’t work, try rebooting twice and call me in the morning.

That’s some nice advice. I feel I may have done you a disservice now looking back at my “Pustulant Braggart” crack. But, on second thought, there’s no harm in putting it out there
Cool stuff. I like playlists! Unfortunately, the iTunes method of organizing music files makes it rather difficult to transport playlists between iTunes and other players (eg WinAmp). Damn Apple!
