Here is a real playlist that I created with Playlist Creator (it doesn't seem to get any info from a cd other than track number). D is my cd drive and cda is the file extension of cd tracks.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, - -
D:\Track04.cda
#EXTINF:408,Considerations 1- 1972-1976 - 5 - Solo
..\..\Jazz CDs\Bill Dixon\Dixon_Solo.mp3
#EXTINF:0, - -
D:\Track09.cda
#EXTINF:276,Providencia - 3 - Historia de un Amor
..\..\Jazz CDs\Danilo Perez\Providencia\Providencia_Danilo Perez_03_Historia de un Amor.mp3

which I not only was able to scan into OCD, but now have playing using Windows Media through OCD.

However you may find that your media player does not really like playlists with *.cda files. I found that iTunes and JetAudio will simply strip out all the *.cda entries. Windows Media seems to work fine with playlists that include *.cda entries, even when called by a Play from OCD (though you have to do it twice in OCD for some reason - the first time it just plays some random track from the media library).

Added: Having finally checked it out, I should add that MediaMonkey also handles playlists with cda files just fine.
Thanks, it works fine. But I still can't get rid of the OrangeCD playlist folder with the artists. What I would have liked is having the playlist as a field in the album properties page!!
