when i try to download a playlist:

youtube-dl -o "%(stitle)s.%(ext)s" -i -l -w -c -f 45 --max-quality 45 --extract-audio http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9909DE87F568E318'

it gives an eror:
youtube-dl: error: using output template conflicts with using title, literal title or auto number

i don't want to see id's in file name so i am using --output parameter

you can use either --output parameter or -l (literal). Remove the -l option it should work as expected.
