On-demand playlists of more than one track

I have on-demand streaming working such that my browser is directed to a playlist like abc.pls and I am streamed abc.mp3. My content folder contains many mp3s and contains sub-folders that also contain mp3s. Can I use a native feature of Shoutcast to request:
- a playlist that contains all tracks in the main content folder
- all tracks in a given sub-folder
- all tracks in the main content folder and its sub-folders?

If not can I construct such playlists manually yet still benefit from Shoutcast's on-demand security? (For example would I manually create a playlist (and put it on a web server) that contains entries that are themselves shoutcast on-demand playlists or would this mean that the browser would never get to see the shoutcast playlists (inside my manual playlist) which I believe is vital to have the .pls requests converted to .mp3 streams.

Or is there some other way to use on-demand with playlists of multiple tracks?

Finally if I couldn't build multi-track playlists for on-demand streaming then presumably I should build a Web page that has a separate hyperlink to each track (expressed as a .pls) so that the usser simply clicks each track in turn. Is there by any chance a way to build such a page automatically from the track contents of my Content folder?

Many thanks for any help you can give.
