Oh good question, yeah unfortunately there's no playlist support right now. One thing you could do is setup a symbolic link to 'copy' the file that plays multiple times without actually taking up all the space of physical copies. It's an odd hack but should work in the short term.
Longer term though yeah I'm curious is there a standard playlist format that would be easy to use? Perhaps VLC or similar have a playlist format we could look at adding?
edit: Oh actually it looks like the M3U playlist format is pretty simple and might be a good option: https://wiki.videolan.org/M3U/ Perhaps the logic that reads the usb drives & directories can be updated to look first for a playlist.m3u file and then fall back to playing everything if there's no playlist. I'll keep this bug open as a to-do--not sure I'll have time right now to look at it right now though.

Yeah I thought about something like that as well.
M3u is a standard indeed. Its format is simple as well. Though it would still need to scan the files from the playlist to get the needed data I guess. I will try to do it myself and post the results if I manage it.
I wouldn't call it a bug though, rather a feature :D
Thanks for the quick answer,
Cheers

@raegen version 1.0.3 introduced the ability to control the repetition of files. the order of the files can be controlled by the filename (the internal playlist is sorted alphabetically)
maybe this helps achieving what you need
