I have VLC on my Macbook and also on my Galaxy Android phone. How can I set up playlists on the phone? The VLC app on the phone shows playlist but only allows one file at a time....?? Is there a way to establish the playlist on the computer then transfer that file to the phone app?

hello, you can use a .m3u file.
There seems to be some restrictions in the use of relative URLs.
For instance, if the audio files are located on an SD card, VLC appends
the SD card path to the the one stated in the m3u file.
Then You cannot use for instance ../Artist/Album/audiofile.mp3 it will fail to look for
%SDcardPath/../Artist/Album/audiofile.mp3
The only way I found for the moment is to put all audio files in a root directory with a tree,
and the Playlist.m3u file in this root directory
eg "Music" contains all artists subdirectories wich contain each albums and Audiofiles.
Music Artist1 Album1 Audiofiles
Album2
Artist2 Record1
.......
Artistn Albumone
Playlist.m3u
Then the path for a given audiofile in this root diretory is Artist1/Album2/Audiofile8.mp3 (as for example)
That's what you can set in the Playlist.m3u file.
Enjoy
