VLC media player

How do I get my play list into my VLKC media player? Drag and drop and Copy and paste wont work. Thanks for any help CB

You do mean VLC Media player right?. Using the VLC player, is there an option to import your music library into the VLC player? If so, try it...

CB, IF all else fails, try RIGHT clicking your My Music folder. There should be an option to add it to your VLCMedia player. If not, at least there should be the option to play it on it. That is how it works on mine. Good Luck.

Yes. The K was an accident,I didn't catch. I did get my music playlist into my VLC,and it couldn't have been easier.I have all my music in a folder. I have a shortcut to the folder on my desktop. I opened it the other day,and the first thing on the menu was add to VLC Media Player Playlist.. Really glad because VLCs instructions were really confusing. Talking about navigators,and whatever. Anyway I'm all set Thanks for posting. CB

Thanks L. Thats just what I did The first thing on the menu was add to VLC Media Player's Playlist.
I think you can send music to any player you want. I have two players I have the optioin to send it to either one. If I add another player I'll probably get an option for that one CB

Thanks for the reply. As you can see, by the other Posts, I found an easier way. CB

You're welcome. Good luck.

Ok, I know this thread is a year old, but I right clicked my music folder as I mentioned in post #4, so now, how do I play that list of tunes? I haven't found a way to do so, yet?

Kindly disregard. I imported a 28 gb folder of tunes from a portable usb Harddrive to My Documents & play it from there.

When will people ever learn, not to put ANY documents into "My Documents", let alone 28GBs of music files..... ?

I'm with you CC, I never have used MS default locations. I organize my own files and folders.

At least that would be better than placing them on Desktop. :/

As hard as it will likely be for you to believe, with the material I deal with, and my lousy work ethic, the desktop is the best place for my storage needs.

If nothing else, when it gets to the point where I can't see the wallpaper, that forces me into "filing frenzy"..... Crank up the DVD burner.....plug in the thumb drives, let's get this filth backed up and moved........

Well, unlike most people, my desktop doesn't have any thing on it as you can see here

I simply click the Chevrons on my taskbar (hidden) & my desktop icons show up. I change my desktop picture frequently.
Unless I'm incorrect, doesn't the My Documents folder come with a My Music,My Pictures folder?

OK first off, it looks like you're using Windows 7. If that's the case, there's absolutely NO reason >>YOU<< need to change the wallpaper frequently, since you can set that OS to present you with a background slide show, containing as many images as you want, changing at whatever interval you choose. You can also save collections of pictures, and change those in their entirety from time to time.

For example, let's say you got tired of nude women, and wanted to have a cat collection up for a while, you could. Although for the life of me, I can't figure out why you'd need to, since I don't think there's a difference a difference between the two species....

.Window targets "My Documents", (and its sub folders), to C:/ the OS drive. There's almost no legitimate reason for keeping all of your data on C:/ .

What happens if you r computer catches something? You would have to wipe C:/ when you reinstall Windows. 90% of the time, malware attacks only the system files. So, while it's not as foolproof as backing up pre-scanned data to another computer or optical media, a separate HDD in the same machine, is far superior to having ANY data files on C:/.

Let's say you use imaging software, without data files, your drive image will only be say 50GB as opposed to 500GB.

If you're comfortable with, and wish to continue using the "My Documents" file structure, you should "re-target" the folder to a separate physical HDD.

That leaves only the OS, installed programs, and Windows updates on C:/, which, (IMHO of course), is how it should be. You could have also put your music on a different drive from the jump, and simply included it in a library. VLC will have no problem finding and running files from a drive other than C:/.....

If you have a laptop and you want to be able to easily take them with you without bringing an external drive?

That's why you back up. If everything's on an external it can just as easily die or get a virus as anything else...

The thing I enjoy most about external HDDs is when they start threads about being no longer accessible.

Just re-target the data files from the git-go, and then backup from there.

PS, I don't need a lecture about "backing up". I keep all my files duplicated across several separate machines. Which BTW, are not networked.

Yes, I am using W7 & yes, I'm aware of the picture changing program since thats the way original owner had it.
Although I appreciate your input, & I know there is always a first time, I am a very careful browser on the web & I don't open unexpected links in emails.
The tunes I put in the My Documents folder were copied from a folder in my USB 465gb Verbatim Harddrive.
I guess I've been blessed in that none of my computers have crashed. I keep it updated & clean.
Thank you for your concern captaincranky.

"It can't happen to me", either.

I wasn't lecturing you, I was having a conversation. I actually wanted to know why you preferred the way you do it.
