Create multiple custom playlists

From Sandisk's page on the Sandisk DAP 256:

Playlists are not supported on the DAP. You can use multiple folders to organize your music.

However, I can't help but notice in the manual for Musicmatch which comes with the thing, that you can arrange the order of files inside each directory. This is, however, different than having M3U type playlists so I could reference a certain song in both an album M3U and also a "mixtape" M3U.

Grumble grumble. Though I'm not cancelling my order or anything.
