A playlist in an audio player

A playlist is a list of video or audio files that can be played back on a media player, either sequentially or in a shuffled order.[1] In its most general form, an audio playlist is simply a list of songs that can be played once or in a loop.[2] The term has several specialized meanings in the realms of television broadcasting, radio broadcasting and personal computers.

A video playlist can also be a list of recorded titles on a digital video disk (DVD). On the internet, a playlist can be a list of chapters in a movie serial; for example, Flash Gordon in the Planet Mongo is available on YouTube as a playlist of thirteen consecutive video chapters.
