Unable to open a local folder

[235Dan]

I'm trying to create a playlist tha twill play any and all music files in a local HDD folder.
The folder opens and plays fine if I open it w/ ctrl-F.
This playlist only give me errors. Why?
Win7 VLC 2.0.1
Thanks

The playlist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/">
<title>Playlist</title>
<trackList>
<track>
<location>C:\Junk\Music\</location>
<title>Junk Music</title>
</track>
</trackList>
</playlist>
