Delete Track: removes the highlighted track from the playlist. Important: Once you save a Playlist it is important that you do not move the actual MP3 files as the Playlist searches in the original file location. If you need to move your MP3 files to a different folder, you'll have to recreate your Playlists. (Moving a music track) 4.5 What is an .m3u file? Example of the contents of the .m3u Playlist file 'Jazz Music' You can open a Playlist file (Playlistname.m3u) on your computer with a text editor such as Notepad or SimpleText (Macintosh®), 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, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself. Because a Playlist includes the path to the music file (as shown in the example Playlist file above), you have to remember that if you change the location of a music file, then the path to it in the Playlist will be incorrect, and the Gmini will not play the song (because it can't find it). Thus it is important to create a clean directory structure and not change where your files are located. Either that or just delete your Playlist and create a new one. 9
