but that just results in a file sitting on my sd card that only plays a single song queue. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm doing anything wrong at all.

So… i may be the odd (old?) one out here, but: to me a playlist is exactly that: a saved queue of songs.  I don't know if it would help other respondents or not, but, if you could pardon my ignorance: could i ask what a playlist is to you?  That might help get the ball rolling (that said: if others already understand what else might be meant by "playlist," sorry for the noise!).

I do figure a playlist is a saved queue of songs. But the issue is that it only plays one single song on repeat no matter if I enable suffle or random. It'll only ever play the song picked or song randomized. Only that one song, nothing else.
That's why I believe I'm either doing something wrong or maybe my tang is borked in some way?
