Using the nuvi's Media Player

I've not used the media player in these nuvi's before, but it's newly
useful to me.

I recently replaced the stereo head unit in my work vehicle with one
that's got an Aux jack on the front of it. Planned on using my Sansa
Fuze plugged into it, but got thinking about it, plugged the audio
cable into the nuvi 765t, popped an 8GB SD card in too, full of MP3s.

The audio is good. There are different volume settings for the media
player, the "voice" and Bluetooth. There are two reasons using the
nuvi's player is useful: The directions, when they come up, stop the
music (and rewind a couple of seconds when it restarts), and the
"player" is plugged into power, unlike my Fuze. And, any phone calls
are now coming out the stereo speakers too.

One bug: I love the randomness of what comes out of my music players,
I don't want to try being my own DJ and create sophisticated
playlists. But the nuvi doesn't do random/shuffled playback and relies
on playlists.

Bug Fix: I found "Random Playlist Creator with Genres" to generate the
necessary playlist. Also, according to others trying to use their
playlists in nuvi's, the playlist file extension should be *.m3u8 (add
the "8"), which is the Unicode version the nuvi is expecting.

I'll still use the Fuze, mostly for WMA-protected audiobooks from our
library - the nuvi only does Audible DRM.
