To create a playlist

A Playlist is a text file that can be created in any text editor with an extension of .txt. A Playlist is necessary when you want the NMP-500to play specific content, in a specific order, usually looped. A Playlist can be created for the http streams. Example of a looped Playlist:

loop

http http://192.168.12.x/movie1.mpg http http://192.168.12.x/movie2.mpg http http://192.168.12.x/movie3.mpg

For a Playlist that is not looped, list the desired content without the keyword "loop."
