I am sure this has been answered, and I promise I tried to look through the forum before I asked. I have a Pi3 that I want to create, which is basically an iPod Shuffle for my son, who has some special needs. I have an Xbox accessibility control and have configured the A button to Play/Pause and the B button to Skip to the next song, but I haven't figured out how to open a playlist upon boot. The playlist is called an m3u. It was an m3u8, but I thought the autoexec.py mentioned in "Error when trying to autoplay videos from a autoexec.py file" might require the playlist be m3u, but that didn't help.
My son has some developmental delays due to severe epilepsy but loves listening to music. I am trying to make a box without a screen that will play random songs automagically, and then he can skip a song if he doesn't like it.
