    sorted now , a freebee proggy called "music bee" allows you to add tracks from multiple folders and will play them in order

    PS winamp is not suitable either

    Yes it is, right click enqueue or use enqueue.

    I used foobar200 for a while.

    Currently playing music via VLC, listening to a folder containing a certain genre, with VLC 'random' button selected.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Wow that's brilliant, that 'tracks from multiple folders in order' thing could be useful, it only it had a catchy name...........I know let's call it a playlist! :)

    Is this a question? Then yes its a program that you can install and run on Windows and other operating systems.

    I have an embedded version running on a tiny Raspberry Pi2 which is utterly brilliant.

    A tiny computer running on 5volts and consuming a tiny amount of power, Full 1080 HD video no issues. All for £30 ish.

    And so portable, Take the Pi an HDMI cable, remote and a mars bar sized battery pack it was running for over 6 hours at a friends house and would have lasted much longer.

    .But KODI is great also. Lots of versions Windows, Linux, Pi and embedded OS's also so it runs directly to KODI.

    indeed , XBMC/kodi is a very competent programme, and was indeed tried both on a Pi and a PC ,


    however after indexing music files (both on a PC and a Pi) you only have the ability to play tracks(s) from one folder , not multiple ones


    you can however make a playlist , but its a long drawn affair
