I'm starting on a project in making a customizable media player which can support the 3 major platform(Windows, Linux, Unix). I have actually found some source code online for this project but i want to add in feature like playlist but was unsure of where to start off with. Any advice for a head start for my project of how to create the playlist?

That's actually a feature I wanted to add to that myself. What I would do is create a new frame or dialog with a ListCtrl (or rather an ObjectListView) and use an Add/Delete button to add and remove tracks. You could save the paths to a plain text file with whatever extension you think is appropriate and load the ListCtrl from that. I hope that all makes sense.
