CodeMonkeyX:
Thanks a lot everyone, I have a few cool things to try out now.

(in windows, on your ipod, in your music directory)
ATTRIB *.MP3 /S > ALL.M3U
NOTEPAD ALL.M3U
do a search/replace for D: (or whatever your drive is) with nothing.  It will erase the d: at the beginnnig of every line.

Save the file.

That's it.  you now have a playlist of all the music in your \music\ directory, or whatever you named the directory.  To "manage" it, just open it in notepad and copy things around.  You can copy them to other files, and save them as something else (Notepad likes to slap .txt on the end, so you may need to rename them when you're done).  If you add new music, just recreate the master file the same way as above.

thanks for this!  nice and easy - just the way i like it!  ;D

Yotto:
I actually left out a bit, now that I'm rereading.

The lines will actually look something like this:

--- Code: ---   A          d:\music\foo.mp3

--- End code ---

You have to search and replace everything before, and including, the colon.

Doesn't make it any harder, just more correct now :D
