The playlist module allows users to  arrange content in a personal
playlisst.    This module empowers users to become publishers of
content as they re-mix content from the site.  Once users have re-mixed
their content they can share their re-mixes and become their own
Internet media publisher.

An RSS feed of the playlist is automatically generated of the personal
playlist based on the time that it was added to the playlist (not based
on order!). The XSPF format can be used to export an XML feed of the
playlist based on playlist order, which is useful for sharing
playlists.

You can:
enable content types to be added to a playlist in content >> configure
>> content types.
show, create, and delete playlists at my playlist.
subscribe to an RSS feed of a playlist.

These need to be added

Actually XSPF not supported quite yet...whoops. Planning on integrating
Josh K's or Colin's code soon.

I think that the idea behind the module is that it allows users to make
their own channels, feeds, and playlists of content on a site.  Another
way to think about it is that it is a "favorite nodes" module that
generates a feed or channel for all the favorite nodes. So maybe a
rewrite:

The playlist module allows users to arrange content into personal
playlists. This module empowers users to become organizers of content
as they re-order content from the site and create lists of their
favorite content items.  Once users have selected their favorite nodes
and re-ordered them, others can share their RSS feeds or XSPF playlist.
 For instance, users could make podcasts of their favorite audio on a
site, or custom playlists of favorite songs, similar to iTunes
playlists.

The playlist module allows users to arrange content into personal
playlists. This module empowers users to become organizers of content
as they re-order content from the site and create lists of their
favorite content items.  Once users have selected their favorite nodes
and re-ordered them, others can share their RSS feeds [1], XSPF
playlists [2], M3U playlists [3], or PLS playlists [4]. For instance,
users could make podcasts [5] of their favorite audio on a site, or
custom playlists of favorite songs, similar to iTunes playlists.

An RSS feed of the playlist is automatically generated of the personal
playlist based on the time that it was added to the playlist (not based
on order!). The XSPF, M3U, and PLS format can be used to export an XML
feed of the playlist based on playlist order, which is useful for
sharing playlists.

You can:

* create a new playlist at create content >> playlist [6].
* view your playlists at "my playlists".
* add new audio to a playlist via the "add to playlist" link on audio
posts.
* edit the title and description of the playlist via the "edit" tab for
the playlist.
* manage your playlist files via the "manage playlist files" tab for
the playlist.
