4 MUSIC - Playlists A Playlist is a list of songs that the Gmini 400 will automatically play one after the other. The Gmini 400 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 file (file type .m3u) to be used another time. There is no limit to the number of playlists you can save on the Gmini 400 hard disk. Playlists are indicated by a special list icon (circled icon to the left). 4.1 Playing a Playlist To play a Playlist, you simply scroll to the Playlist, such as 'Jazz Music' shown to the left, and click on PLAY ►. The list of songs will be loaded into the internal memory of the Gmini 400 and then be displayed in a separate panel. Click on PLAY ► and the songs will be played in the order shown. To shuffle the music entries in a random order, you can click on Playlist (F1), then choose Shuffle. You can open a Playlist file (Playlistname.m3u) on your computer with a text editor such as Notepad, and you will see that it is merely a list of files to be played along with the hard disk path to find them. If you delete a Playlist from your Gmini 400, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself. Example of the contents of the .m3u Playlist file 'Jazz Music'. 16
