" the audio players all want me to navigate to a genre and artist before it starts working, unless I create a playlist (which I'll get to Real Soon Now.)"
For example, using the 'load multiple files' menu item with the top window in the file manager containing '/data/music/' I select all sub-directories (the different genre) but only the first is loaed when I click the select button. I can live with this by learning to navigate to the genre (or artist) directory before invoking a player." Rich, I'm not sure we're saying the same thing. Give the below a read and see if it's the same functionality you're looking for. Then go to "tools->"preferences". Under interface, there is a 'playlist' section at the bottom. Check 'Display playlist tree' then restart VLC. Under "media", select "open directory" and choose the directory you want. The playlist will display all the music files by directory and you can minimise or maximize a directory. You can even open totally unrelated directories, even partitions apart and VLC will categorize them by folder.
