In its most general form, a
playlist is simply a list of
songs, but sometimes a
loop. They can be played in sequential or
shuffled order. The term has several specialized meanings in the realms of
radio broadcasting and
personal computers. A playlist can also be a list of recorded titles on a digital video disk. 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 segments.
