Problem Resolved. There was a - in the .xml file before the song list. I removed the dash and the songs loaded into the player. There must be a reason why all of the sample playlists are published with the -, but nobody said in the documentation that it needed to be removed. Does anyone know why the XML lists examples are published with the -?

The original problem:  
I copied an mp3 player .fla from online, but I cannot get it to read my playlist.
