How to "Play All" mp3

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this really bugs me.

I have a number of media players on my PC - WMP, Quicktime, Real Player, VLC, BS Player, Divx. I also have some downloaded CDs stored on my PC.

What I want to do is to play all the tracks of one CD, as they are listed. But can't get any of the media players to do this.

It used to do it via WMP when I went to the folder and clicked "Play All", but this no longer works - nothing happens. No great loss as it used to use loads of CPU.

So can someone tell me an easy way to get one of the players to do what I want, or do I have to load each track individually into a playlist on the player?

    Hi
    VLC is the player I use mostly.
    If you have music files stored in a folder (or sub folder) on your hard drive then do this with VLC.

    File > Open Directory...

    Then select the folder and click OK.

    It will play all the tracks in the folder.
    :cool:

  • With WMP, you should just be able to highlight the folder you want, then right click and click on 'Add to Windows Media Player List.'

    They then appear in the List Pane and will play.

    In WMP, just click the arrow under 'Now Playing' and choose the Drive Letter that contains the CD.
