I went through ~40 pages of forum posts and didn't see a topic related to this. It is entirely possible I missed it and if so, I'm sorry for reposting.
Regardless of whether I add songs to the Media Library or the playlist directly, the folder/songs do not reload when I reload VLC. I have also saved into a playlist all of my songs after their loaded but only ~300 or so songs are actually saved despite me saving the contents of my entire folder (~1700 songs) into the playlist.
Is this a limitation of VLC or is there a setting or something in the preferences (that I have somehow looked over 20 times) that I can set a default folder to for VLC to look for songs in?
I am using 1.1.11, but as far as I can tell I've had this problem on all versions of VLC when I started using it back on like 0.93 or similar version. I've also had this problem on Win XP and Win 7, 32bit version on both.
It's a minor inconvenience and annoying at best. Thanks for any help/response.
