I found this forum thread from 2015 (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... st#p437267), but still couldn't figure out how to create a playlist in VLC. Contrary to the suggestions in the thread, I could not find any buttons or press-and-hold options to "open queue list" or "create playlist". I do know how to select a song and press APPEND, but I'm not sure what happens to the song after it's appended, or what it's appended to. I see no queue of any kind.
I have a Moto E phone running Android 5.0.2. Can anyone provide specific instructions on how to create a playlist?
