Posted to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/V2CZnMk7. I set up the CD
playlist with a separate directory for each artist and a separate file
within these for each CD/album. As you can see on the pastebin site,
when I tried to run the cat command on a specific file I got the content
of the entire ~/playlist_CDs directory. To clarify, the ~/playlist_CDs
directory contains:

holtzm at localhost:~$ ls playlist_CDs
Blakey             ColemanHawkins  DexterGordon        HerbieHancock
LambertHendricksRoss  Monk
CannonBallAdderly  Coletrain       DizzyGillespie      HerbieMann
MilesDavis            MoseAllison
CliffordBrown      DaveBrubeck     HawkinsAndEldridge  HoraceSilver
MJQ                   OscarPeterson

The same thing happens with the ~/playlist_FM directory. Running cat
playlist_FM/KJZZ.xspsf on a single stream gives the content of the
entire directory. 
bviously I haven't a clue as to how to set up a proper playlist. Any
guidance or pointers to docs appreciated.
