It is possible to use d (links) in BL3 to browse 
directories, select an audio file and have it play 
automatically (for files with a specified suffix).

For playlists, I use the editor to create a playlist
file which can be executed from the commandline
(you simply start each line with the mplayer command).

For internet audio streams I have a written a 
wee script to display a menu of streams which 
are accessed by entering the corresponding 
number in the menu (you are welcome to a copy).  
New stations are added (or deleted) in a simple 
data file.  The script automatically assigns 
them a number in the menu (with one-line 
discription of station) and sets the desired
volume for that station.  

Cheers,
Steven
