I am not sure why VLC would crash.
To open a folder just highlight the folder and navigate to the open button.

if I open VLC first, how do I get to my folders? while I was looking for the
one I wanted, VLC crashed. how do I highlight a folder once VLC is open?

No it does not matter. If you highlight the file and press return it will play
that file. If you highlight the folder and press return it will play the folder.

am I correct in assuming that if I open vlc and press command-o that I need to
browse for the folder I want to playy? it says: “open file” does that matter
when it’s a folder I’m after?

I have not really been following this thread but I am not sure why you are
having to use Terminal. There may be some reason you want O take the Terminal
route that I have not picked up on. however I do not have to use Terminal to
play folders of music with VLC. Whatever the folder size if I want to play a
folder of music in VLC, I simply press command A in the Finder folder window
and then command down arrow to open the selected files as a temporary playlist
in VLC. This assumes that VLC is the default player for the files you want to
play.
Alternatively just open VLC, press command O, highlight the folder and press
return and this will do the same thing.

I got the terminal commands to work with VLC last night. it started playing
right away but it stopped often and I would have to tell it to go to the next
track. it staid stuck in the same album and wouldn’t wander around as I wanted
it to. it’s a pretty big folder probably 25 or more artists and a lot of them
have more than 1 album. is there some setting I can change to get it to do what
I want or do you think maybe the folder’s just too big?
TThanks.

You can start with /Users (note the slash in front) but usually when you open
terminal you are in your home directory you can just start with the directory.
For instance from my home directory:
open -a /Applications/VLC.app Music/Classical
I made this up but this should give you an example.
If this doesn't work, tell what the directory is and I can send you an exact
example to past into Terminal. Also remember that when typing you can tab to
have it complete. Fore example, once you type VL you can probably tab and it
will complete VLC.app but there will be a slash after that and no space so you
would have to space before typing the directory. The same with /applications.
You can type /App and do a tab and it should compete /Applications with a slash
after that and of course then you can start VLC.app without spacing. Voiceover
should echo enough for you to know what you are doing.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

I’m requesting a lesson in terminal. I followed Cheryl’s instructions about how
to open a music folder in vlc. I got the message “file does not exist”. it’s a
folder, but besides that I must have done the syntax incorrectly as far as the
path goes. do you start from users/ or before that? I wrote the name of each
folder with a slash in-between. what am I missing?
Thanks.
