   a bit late, though, since this group is not exactly goin' on a whole lotta   
   shakin'   
   I may complete the answer for the OP, what he's hoping for is a "playlist", and   
   the main and simplest 'real world computing' format of a multimedia playlist of   
   this kind is the M3U (a simple text list), he might also like and check the   
   Creative Commons RDF format (well, it's an RDF hence a bit more subhuman :D)   
      
   and of course there are other lesser formats but for the OPs described tasks   
   I'd   
   bet for the M3U (and even M3U8 as he seems to be using Unicode)
