5.1.3 Using playlists
A Playlist is a list of songs that the Gmini will automatically play one after the other. The Gmini
can handle one Playlist at a time. 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 hard drive.
