Dear Customer,

The PD-6140 supports .pla playlists which can be easily be created and synced to the PD-6140 with a program like Windows Media Player 10 or 11.

For instructions on how to create a playlist with Windows Media Player, please refer to the help guide within Windows Media Player or check these links from Microsoft.

Windows Media Player 11: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/howto/mp11/playlists.aspx#CreateandEditYourPlaylists

Windows Media Player 10: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/windowsmediaplayer/getstarted/makeplaylist.mspx

Dear Customer,

For the Playlist on PD6140, there is only a way to generate .pla file through Windows Media Player.

WMP will create a playlist which will sync to PD6140, and it will also create some entries in PD6140's database. For PD6140 point of view, it will just read up the database to list out and playback the database entries.
For the .m3u playlist, we have platform limitation to read a .m3u playlist. it also require WMP to perform some conversions of .m3u file to .pla file while it is sync to the device.

So, for PD6140, it cannot support any playlists that are created by any software except WMP. That means it cannot add a playlist under Linux/XOS.
