'''Stored in the playlist.ddf file, or in the DDFPLAY data lump.'''

Playlist.ddf is used to define music entries in EDGE. Each entry begins with a unique reference number, in square brackets, and represents a piece of music that can be played at some point in the game. Either during a level, or as one of the intermission or title pieces of music. These entries are then referred to from the other ddf files, such as levels.ddf or game.ddf.

<div style="background: #f2e0ce; border: 2px solid #bfb1a3; padding: 0.6em; margin-top: 0.8em;">When using filenames, directories must be separated by / instead of the \ character which is normally used under Windows. The reason is because the \ character has a special meaning in DDF: it is the escape character, and "\n" is used to put newlines into DDF strings.</div>

==Format==

Entries in playlist.ddf have the following format:

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" BGCOLOR="#C8F4FF"
|
<blockquote><br />'''[ENTRY NUMBER] MUSICINFO=[TYPE]:[FORMAT]:[SONG NAME];'''

</blockquote>
|}

Where each command is as follows:

{| border="1" cellpadding="1" BGCOLOR="#C8F4FF"
! COMMAND
! DESCRIPTION
|-
| [ENTRY_NUMBER]
| A two digit number, used to reference this entry in games.ddf and level.ddf.
|-
| [TYPE]
| This can be either CD, MIDI, MUS, or OGG and should refer to the type of music source that is being used.
|-
| [FORMAT]
| If the music is in a wadfile, this must be LUMP, if the music is a file on the hard drive this must be FILE, or if it's a CD track, this must be TRACK.
|-
| [SONG NAME]
| Name of the actual file in the wadfile or on the hard drive, or the CD track number. Entries with an underscore "_" in '''require''' quotes around the name (e.g. "D_DEAD").
|}

=Examples=

The following are examples of different playlist entries:

{| width="95%" border="1" frame="box" cellpadding="2" frame="box" BGCOLOR="#C2D6D6"
| <font size="2"><br /> [01] MUSICINFO=CD:TRACK:1; // NOTE: CD tracks do not require quotes

[10] MUSICINFO=MUS:LUMP:"D_DEAD"; // NOTE: names with "_" in them '''require''' quotes

[23] MUSICINFO=OGG:FILE:"music/QOTSA/A_Song_for_the_dead.ogg";

</font>
|}

<br />

<div style="background: #f2e0ce; border: 2px solid #bfb1a3; padding: 0.6em; margin-top: 0.8em;">Only early versions of EDGE support MP3 music playback, and early DOS-based versions support MOD/XM music (including [[DOSDoom]]). 3DGE does not support CD music playback.</div>
