In its most general form, a playlist is simply a list of songs. They can be played in sequential or shuffled order. The term has several specialized meanings in the realms of radio broadcasting and personal computers.
The term originally came about in the early days of top 40 radio formats[citation needed] when stations would devise (and, eventually, publish) a limited list of songs to be played. The term would go on to refer to the entire catalog of songs that a given radio station (of any format) would draw from. Additionally, the term was used to refer to an ordered list of songs played during a given time period. Playlists are often adjusted based on time of day, known as dayparting.
As music storage and playback using personal computers became common, the term playlist was adopted by various media player software programs intended to organize and control music on a PC. Such playlists may be defined, stored, and selected to run either in sequence or, if a random playlist function is selected, in a random order. Playlists' uses include allowing a particular desired musical atmosphere to be created and maintained without constant user interaction, or to allow a variety of different styles of music be played, again without maintenance.

one day you will wake up a and think
what the hell is goin on where the fuck did i go wrong
you’re gonna go see a shrink
cry and bable on about the meaning of your songs
nobody ever got to listen
the radio didn’t wanna playlist them
they might as well not have existed
i don’t understand what i been missin
you’ve always worked hard
insisted to try without the handbook or a guide
oh no I didn’t get you far
now all you do is write new hits and hide them
so nobody else can get a listen
you don’t need the radio to playlist them
to me they have always existed
you got to understand there’s absolutely nothing you been
missin
