What's the easiest way for me to play a list of mp3 files on my N800? The Economist is releasing each issue in spoken word form, and I am tired of clicking in File Manager to play each article -- they are typically five minutes in length.

1) In File Manager select all the tracks by sliding the stylus over the ones you want or by using the menu:
Edit - Select - Mark all

2) 'Open' them to launch Media Player with your selections by holding your stylus on the selected and choose 'open' from the pop-up menu OR from the Menu:
File - Open

3) In Media Player's menu:
Tools - Save 'Now playing' playlist as ...

Unfortunately there's no proper (a'la xmms/winamp/foobar) playlist support in most of the media players.

Thanks, ichmo, your instructions worked great. I had to go the select all route, since I couldn't slide the stylus over the ones I wanted.
