Auto-load music files from a folder to the VLC Playlist
To make things work, we’ll first need to create a Desktop shortcut for VLC player. Then, edit the VLC path in its ‘Properties’ to add the desired path of your folder with multimedia files. Here’s how! Create a Desktop shortcut of the ‘.exe’ file of VLC on your Desktop.
Assuming, you have created a shortcut, right-click on that shortcut and from the context menu select ‘Properties’ and then select the ‘Shortcut’ tab. In its ‘Target’ field add a string alongside the path as shown in the screenshot below. The part following the initials ‘-LZ’ refers to the path of the folder you desire the VLC Player to work for. The location can differ but ‘-LZ’ must remain unchanged.
Once finished, simply hit the ‘Apply’ and open the shortcut you created moments ago to make things work and auto load music files from a folder in the VLC Playlist. Hereafter, whenever you wish to play your favorite songs or media files from a folder using VLC, simply open access the shortcut from your Desktop/PC screen. Also, if you wish to download subtitles in VLC media player, do not look for additional plug-ins. This guide – Add subtitles in VLC media player helps you do the job yourself.
