Playlists
Goal is to create audio playlists for VLC
Open a new playlist with ctrl+l (lower case L)
Drag music files to the playlists
This only works with local music files. Music files from the network server are ignored
Work around is to copy any desired music files to local drive and then drag into the VLC playlist
