Hi --
If you're willing to use a text editor on a personal computer, you can create a playlist without a whole lot of Genos button pressing. I just went through this process and here are my working notes.
Have fun!

A Genos Playlist is a tab-separated value (TSV) file with the extension ".tsv".
The first line in the file identifies the fields:
TITLE FILEPATH REGIST OPENVIEWER
The field names are separated by tab characters.
The rest of the file consists of Playlist records. Each line is a record with four tab-separated fields:
TITLE Song title (embedded spaces are OK)
FILEPATH Path to the registration bank file
REGIST Number of the registration within the bank [0:9]
OPENVIEWER One of OFF, SCORE, LYRICS, TEXT.
There isn't any special end-of-list record.
REGIST selects a registration memory location. The range of values is 0 to 9 (button 1 to button 10). The REGIST value may also be "OFF", meaning that a button is not selected when the registration is loaded.
Example playlist:
TITLE FILEPATH REGIST OPENVIEWER
La Playa I:/PlaylistForGenos/Ballroom/La Playa.rgt 0 OFF
Matrimony I:/PlaylistForGenos/Ballroom/Matrimony.rgt 0 OFF
Moon River I:/PlaylistForGenos/Ballroom/Moon River.rgt 0 OFF
Patricia I:/PlaylistForGenos/Ballroom/Patricia.rgt 0 OFF
Drive I: is the first USB drive. Drive C: is the internal (USER) drive.
My registrations are stored in the internal drive directory: "C:\REGIST". My registration banks have path names like:
C:\REGIST\1950sRock.S917.RGT
C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT
...
Each registration within a bank is a song (style, tempo, WAV file, etc.)
Given a list of titles, add the registration path and button number to the playlist file, e.g.,
TITLE FILEPATH REGIST OPENVIEWER
Whatd I Say C:\REGIST\1950sRock.S917.RGT 1 OFF
Then You Can Tell Me C:\REGIST\1950sRock.S917.RGT 2 OFF
Tears Of A Clown C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 1 OFF
Heatwave C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 2 OFF
I'll Be Around C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 3 OFF
I'll Be There C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 4 OFF
Just My Imagination C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 5 OFF
Nightshift C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 6 OFF
What Does It Take C:\REGIST\Motown.S917.RGT 7 OFF

Excellent as usual, Paul. Yamaha could (and I'll argue should) have provided this info either in the reference manual or in a product video, especially since there are limited search and sort options in the current implementation. But it's early, and perhaps they'll update it as time progresses.
