You load your playlist (in its most simple form it would be just one
filename per line) with [textfile]. You make [textfile] output its first
line, feed that to [readsf~]. Then you feed the right outlet of
[readsf~]  - which bangs when the file is finished - back to [textfile]
to make it output the next filename.
