I have to manually cycle the songs which are placed in alphabetical format .

What am I doing wrong, how can I get the playlist to display and load?
Took me a while to get the playlists to work for me, but perseverance paid off. Once you have copied the playlist file from the PC to the USB stick, you will need to open the file using Notepad to edit the file locations as the playlist will reference the songs on the C: drive (or other drive) and not the USB stick.
The text should look like this:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
<head>
<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
<meta name="ItemCount" content="0"/>
<title>Car Playlist</title>
</head>
<body>
<seq>
<media src="M.I.A\Bad Girls.mp3"/>

Once you have the file open you can manually add songs to the play list by repeating the last line above with the new song title. Of course the folder and filename must be exactly the same as on USB stick
