But generally you need to create a text file which contains names of your media files, one file name per line (playlist.txt for example). Then you need to run MPlayer with -playlist option: mplayer -playlist playlist.txt
Some other useful options are -shuffle (randomize order) and -loop (play files in a loop). For example the following command line uses all these options to infinitely play files from some playlist in random order: mplayer -loop 0 -shuffle -playlist playlist.txt
PS. You need the latest version on MPlayer (at least mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.6) as the older versions had a bug that prevented from playing more than one file per mplayer run.

How do you create a "text file which contains names of your media files"? Which program(s) on the N800 do you use? I am a newbie to working with mplayer, Could you guide me through the process of creating and playing a playlist step by step? Thanking you in advance for any help that you can provide.
Works great! Thanks for your help.
