Now once out playlist file is made we can now open up VLC - I'm using v1.1.9 ( download latest) and configure VLC to automatically load this playlist when it starts.Ģ. Replace "K:\" with whatever directory you want it to point to (can also be a folder) and save it as "playlistname.xspf" Add 2 placeholders for naming string: listname - playlist name listindex - number of song.

Here is what our custom playlist is basically going to look like To do this we actually need to make a custom playlist file that points to your desired directory and have it load when vlc starts.įortunatly vlc uses the xspf format for it's playlist standard which is pretty straight forward. What's actually missing is a drag&drop option for adding playlist files to the 'Playlists' tab. You could write a script to alter it and insert all playlists but this would be very cumbersome. These are accessible from a separate left-pane, Playlists > Saved playlists they cannot be created from within the file browser.

But easy to change it at anytime using just your file manager. You already have it setup the way you like it. And then it doesn't matter what player your using.

To me this is the simplest way of doing things. I might use the build-in playlist in the player itself, but I rarely do. Then have my music player play the folder I made as default. I just use my file manager to add, delete, created playlist. Shuffle or play in the order style I place them in. I just have my music player point to the folder I like to listed to and start playing. I also have a mix folder or just favorites for the time being as well. I have all my music in one folder with bunch and bunch of sub folders of the different type of music I like to listening. I see the point if your streaming from another server or something like that.

A text file that point where your music is.
