To create a playlist for the DEVA DB91-RX MP3 player using custom songs, follow these steps:

1. Prepare Your Jingles: Ensure all jingle files are in .mp3 format.
2. Create a 'Jingles' Folder: Store all jingle files in a folder named 'Jingles' (no sub-folders allowed).
3. Use an SD Card: Place the 'Jingles' folder in the root directory of the SD card.
4. Create a Playlist File: The playlist file must be named playlist.m3u and placed inside the 'Jingles' folder.
5. Upload via FTP (Optional): You can update the content using an FTP client.
6. Set Playback Mode: In the Jingle Player settings, define the playback order and the interval (number of songs after which a jingle should be played).

This setup ensures the DB91-RX plays jingles as per your configuration.
