this worked very well. thanks. the only thing I wonder about is why vlc would
play some songs more than once. I did go into the menus and find something that
said something like: “stop when everything has been played”. maybe that will
get it to only play each song once.

Ifchange all was dimmed, then you couldn't have finished the process. If you
don't change all, then only the file you specifically told it to change will be
changed. But apparently you are working in a folder that is for some reason is
locked for you to do this. You need to go back and change
Sorry I didn't see this before what I just posted.
In finder, do command-shift-u for utilities. In Utilities you will find
Terminal; do vo-space and it will open. Then in Terminal do the command as
explained before. Post again if you have problems.

ok. so, what’s the command for going into terminal? if I added a subfolder
would it still play them all if I created a permanent list?
something else is going on with that other folder that just has files. I set it
to open all the file types that are in that folder the way you and Alex
just wanted to let u know that I fixed the problem where it was only playing
the songs I had done the setting on. several of the files were already vlc
default so the change all button was dimmed bout for mp3 I had to find the
continue button. the majority of the folder is mp3. it stopped
The reason you are confused is that I and others gave you more than one
alternative and that has to be confusing.
The way that will work for you even if you have subfolders in your folder is by
terminal.
If you open terminal it should start you out in your home directory. So in

it had the preview you saw. Now this can be a little confusing because it's
possible to also just be at a place where it only says open with;
Also, you aren't making the playlist in terminal if you are referring to what I
wrote. You are just opening the appropriate folder. Then in vlc you are doing
the cmd-s to make the playlist.

Which basically I think means, yes. You do have to do this procedure for each
file type. I also have always hoped there was a way to just change the default
player, period, but I don't think there is or at least I haven't found it yet.
Changing the player for one file type only does it for that
because I’m such a newbie, I’m confused about your description of how to open a
folder in vlc. do I open a terminal or go to applications or something else? I
don’t mind typing the path to the folder. I just need to get it set up right.
Thanks.

You can do this for all files, but the process is a bit odd. Find a file of the
type you want associated with a new app, and press command-i. Once the
information window opens, find the disclosure triangle named something like
opens with and expand it. Set the app you want, then hit the button
is there a way to set VLC as my default player in general or do I need to do it
for each file type?

Spacebar on any file invokes the OSX quick look, which isn't really an
app. It's meant to quickly preview files without waiting for the usual
app launch process.

Probably the easiest way to do this would be with the QuickLook function. Open

I tried finding some files with different extensions that I want to use vlc

making the playlist in terminal sounds like a good idea but I’ve never done
I thought I understood how to do this because I have been playing individual
files. I go into the context menu and choose “open with” and then I can pick
one of my players. when I tried this with a folder that option wasn[’t present.
how is this done?
Thanks.

The player that opens will be the one that is the default set for that file
type. This can be changed. I use VLC as my default for most music and only use
iTunes when I have iTunes itself open or on purpose want to play something in
iTunes. So to set vlc as the default for a filetype, I find a
Does this automatically play the whole folder?
What I suspect is that if you have subfolders all of these will just try to
open in finder and either nothing will open in vlc or only files contained in
the top level of the folder system will be included. But for a simple folder

do you activate quick look first? otherwise you’d have to do it from within the
folder you want to play, I think. 1 of my folders has sub folders. the other
one doesn’t. 1 has a variety of file extensions which is why I need to use VLC.

If you are asking how to open a folder for playing inVLCit is very simple.
1. Press command a to select all the music in the folder.
2. Press command down arrow to open selection.
3. VLC will now interpret the folder as a temporary playlist. Use normal
navigation in VLC to play the contents of
