Methods of implementing playlists on one's s1mp3.

Check in / check out method

Have a lists of files on your s1mp3 that you wish to form a playlist (example using GNU/Linux):

$ cat p00
A/Aerosmith/BackInTheSaddle.mp3
B/DavidBowie/JohnImOnlyDancing.mp3 ...

Move them from the "library racks" into the "special collection"

mv -i `cat p00` 0_PLAYLIST0

When you are tired of them, move them back

$ while read f; do mv -i 0_PLAYLIST0/${f##*/} $f; done < p00
mv -i 0_PLAYLIST0/BackInTheSaddle.mp3 A/Aerosmith/BackInTheSaddle.mp3
mv -i 0_PLAYLIST0/JohnImOnlyDancing.mp3 B/DavidBowie/JohnImOnlyDancing.mp3

If the vfat file system supported hard links or symbolic links or 'shortcuts' we would have used them instead. Anyway moving (renaming) the files with mv is much less wear and tear than copying.

One can also have 0_PLAYLIST1,2,... The 0 at front is to make sure they appear at the top of the "local folder" tree.
