I have never used VLC on iOS but yest VLC for the Mac is free and intuitive to use. I have associated audio files with VLC so most often you can simply just play files from Finder. As a one off if you load a folder of music within VLC you can save this as a Playlist file. I normally save this m3u playlist file within the same folder that the music is in. After that you simply have to open the m3u file within Finder and VLC will play all the music in that folder. It is just all a lot more straightforward than iTunes. There is inbuilt support for audio formats including wma, it plays radio streams fine and is a good video and DVD player with normal intuitive commands that you would expect to work.

Is this the same app on your Mac that I have on my phone? If so, can you swap between the 2 platforms without syncing? I am just curious. Is the VLC app for the Mac free or is there a cost? Thanks in advance to responding to my questions. Best, Eileen Sent from my iPhone On Oct 28, 2013, at 11:02 AM, Andy Collins <a...@recreation.plus.com> wrote: > What is vlc?
