I keep my MP3 files in folders like I would records or CDs on a shelf, eg /Music/Rock/The Beatles/1966 Revolver/701 - Taxman, 702 - Eleanor Rigby, etc
In Windows it was always so simple, pretty much any program would open a folder and play the songs, one after another, until it got to the end of the folder.
Probably my greatest frustration after leaving M$ a few years ago is that I cannot find a music program that will perform that exceedingly simple task.
Selecting all those files and pushing "Play" will play either the first or last song and then quit.
And no, I have absolutely no desire to "create" bull**** like "playlists" (whatever in the hell that is, I suppose it's like a virtual mix cassette?) or other absurd and time-consuming tasks just to listen to an album. Or 3 songs in a row off of an album.
I know that I am old and curmudgeonly, but is that asking too much? Can anyone suggest a simple and cooperative player?
Thank you very much for not loading this thread with useless crap such as telling me about things that don't work.
