Playlist order
Posted: 21 Dec 2008 21:19
I'm just going to describe what's happening as clearly as I can, and I'll elaborate if need be, I'm just looking for some resolution here.
What I do: Add mp3 tracks 1 through 12 in order from Finder (file browser) into the playlist browser/window in VLC. The tracks are added in order. I HAVE NOT PRESSED PLAY YET. I reorder a few tracks, because I want to hear track 3 first, then 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I PRESS PLAY, track 3 begins to play. After track 3 is done, track 4 begins, skipping tracks 1 and 2.
What's going wrong?:
What I expect to happen: Track 3 will play, then track 1, then 2, then 4 and so on.
What VLC does: VLC plays tracks in order, regardless of the position in the playlist.
