When marking several music files in finder, and openning them in VLC, then the player starts playing the last file and stops. What's the trick to make it play the files in the selected order? Or at least the alphabetic one...

It won't do it by default - what you need to do is drag them all in, and then select the first one in the playlist viewer.

Can I change the default? This workaround you suggested is natural, and clearly the one I'm using - but it is still not the best you can hope for :) Thanks anyway! – Dror Jul 11 '11 at 13:17
It doesn't look like you can change the defaults - the VLC documentation wiki at wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Documentation certainly doesn't give it as an option. – Rory Alsop Jul 11 '11 at 13:32

Select all, right click, select: sort by|name|ascending. The easiest way I have found.

vlc player sucks get media player and download a codec pack. With vlc you can select all your episodes, but it plays it in random order, unless you select the playlist, select all episodes, and change the sort order, it sucks
