Making Playlists

Absolute means an explicit reference to where something is located.  Think of it like a street address.  It tells you where something is absolutely located.

Absolute example:  C:\apples\bananas\  This means the c drive, then the apples folder in the c drive and then the bananas folder within the apples folder.

Relative means a reference to where something is located REALTIVE TO WHERE SOMETHING ELSE IS.  Think of it like someone giving you directions like this, turn around, turn left, turn right, then turn right again.  It tells you HOW to get there.

Relative example:  …/…/music/dubstep  This means that WHEREVER I happen to be giving directions from, go up two directory levels - names don’t matter here - and I’ll find a folder named music and then in that folder I’ll find another folder named dubstep.

Your playlist requires you to tell it where the songs are using RELATIVE paths.
