Couple of noob questions

I've done a search of this forum and was unable to find the answer to my questions.

1. How does one create a playlist of MP3's?

2. Wher would this playlist be stored?

3. What format would that playlist use?

Thanks in advance!

BTW: I am using VLC 2.2.6 Umbrella on Windows Pro (64bit) Build 16299.rs3_release.170922-1354

To reply I worked into a list of local songs I had in VLC. Later I used a list of URLs to check HTML function.

I CTRL+clicked a few of the songs (but I'll bet other familiar selection methods would work just as well.)
After selecting them I right clicked one of of the selected songs.
A context menu appeared that had these choices among others:
"Add to playlist"
"Save Playlist to File"

1. How does one create a playlist of MP3's?
"Add to Playlist"
2. Wher would this playlist be stored?
After adding to a playlist I right clicked again but chose "Save Playlist to File." The dialog box is a standard one that lets you choose the location.
3. What format would that playlist use?
The default I saw was "M3U8" which uses the UTF8 character set. I also saw choices for XSPF, M3U, and HTML.

The HTML list created a valid HTML document but the actual links did not include URLs or local file names.
The M3U8 worked fine with the songs on my hard drive. I didn't try it with URLs.
