Can I open more than one instance of VLC?

I like how I am able to use Quicktime and have multiple songs open and ready to switch too. When I use VLC and open a song while another song is playing, it switches songs in the main player. Can I make it so VLC can be more like Quicktime?
"Allow only one instance" is un-ticked but I still cant get it to work. What can I do?
Thank you and love VLC!

If you're starting vlc by dblclick on a file, you should edit your user's vlc preference : vlcrc (in user's dir /.vlc or appdata\vlc ) , and be sure those 2 option are set to false :
one-instance=0
one-instance-when-started-from-file=0
After your setting, you must restart vlc for the options to take effect
Regards

So, I had started a new thread before seeing this one. Can someone walk me through how to edit the user's vlc preference?
