MP3 Discs - Anyone using Playlists?
The manual seems to suggest that it will support Playlists, but I haven't been able to figure out now to do it. Anyone done this successfully?

If you have actually used playlists in the C6s, please lmk how your disc is organized....

When I make a playlist, it is a compilation disc with songs from several albums, so I don't use folders. When I make a disc of albums, I do use folders, one for each album, but then I'm stuck with the play order of the albums.
I use iTunes to make playlist CDs. As I said, just drag the songs you want, in the order you want, into a playlist using iTunes. Then burn the playlist to a CDR for the car. Simple, easy.

Thanks for the reply. This method results in all the tracks being in one directory correct? But probably does not create a playlist file (*.m3u). It probably has the same net affect, but it does not actually use a "playlist" like on our PCs. However, the manual states that it does support playlists, but does not offer much more info on how to specifically.
Ideally, it would be best to have a disc with all artists in folders so they can be accessed individually AND be able to go to the root folder (or elsewhere) to select a playlists that will play selected tracks in the various folders. Can our cars do that? If not, then what is the point of saying Playlists are supported?
