Semi-OT: Music players /w flash and playlists

I looked up the 4GB model, and assuming it's the same one it looks quite nice.
Looks like there's a video model and a just mp3 model:

Yours would likely be the latter, and it seems to also have bluetooth support.

How does it manage the playlists, and what's the 'nix compatibility
angle on that like? I'm guessing that it's a user-editable file on a
mass-storage type device?
