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-500 to play specific content, in a specific order, usually
looped. A Playlist can be created for the http streams. Example of a looped Playlist:
For a Playlist that is not looped, list the desired content without the keyword "loop."
