Note that the JW Player for Silverlight does NOT support playlists yet, besides Silverlight's limited built-in ASX support.  Although the file name extension of ASX files does not matter, these files typically have a .asx, .wax, .wvx, .wmx, or .wpl extension. For more information about these file types, see [http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87285 Windows Media Metafiles].

Through javascript, you can easily set up a playlist too. Take a look at the excellent [http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/silverlight/wmvplayer/ playlist examples] from Lars Andersen and download his [http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/javascript/periboea/ Periboea] library.
