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 cmd-a to select everything in folder and then cmd-down-arrow works great as I just tried it. It starts to play automatically and you can use regular vlc navigation to move through tracks or find the one you want to play. You can also go ahead and do cmd-s to permanently save the playlist though again I believe you would have to then update your playlist if music was added to the folder, which would be just by doing cmd-s again when running the folder and re-saving it.
-- Cheryl 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."

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 the folder.
