this worked very well. thanks. the only thing I wonder about is why vlc would
play some songs more than once. I did go into the menus and find something that
said something like: “stop when everything has been played”. maybe that will
get it to only play each song once.

Sorry I didn't see this before what I just posted.
In finder, do command-shift-u for utilities. In Utilities you will find
Terminal; do vo-space and it will open. Then in Terminal do the command as
explained before. Post again if you have problems.

The reason you are confused is that I and others gave you more than one

The way that will work for you even if you have subfolders in your folder is by

because I’m such a newbie, I’m confused about your description of how to open a
folder in vlc. do I open a terminal or go to applications or something else? I
don’t mind typing the path to the folder. I just need to get it set up right.
Thanks.

Also, you aren't making the playlist in terminal if you are referring to what I
wrote. You are just opening the appropriate folder. Then in vlc you are doing
the cmd-s to make the playlist.

do you activate quick look first? otherwise you’d have to do it from within the
folder you want to play, I think. 1 of my folders has sub folders. the other
one doesn’t. 1 has a variety of file extensions which is why I need to use VLC.

Does this automatically play the whole folder?
What I suspect is that if you have subfolders all of these will just try to
open in finder and either nothing will open in vlc or only files contained in
the top level of the folder system will be included. But for a simple folder

The player that opens will be the one that is the default set for that file

If you are asking how to open a folder for playing inVLCit is very simple.
1. Press command a to select all the music in the folder.
2. Press command down arrow to open selection.
3. VLC will now interpret the folder as a temporary playlist. Use normal
navigation in VLC to play the contents of th
Spacebar on any file invokes the OSX quick look, which isn't really an

app launch process.

Hi,
Probably the easiest way to do this would be with the QuickLook function. Open
the folder from within the Finder, press cmd-a to select all the items within
that folder then just press the spacebar once. The music will play and you can
arrow through the songs if you wish to skip anything.
