Just another thing to add to my to do list..

I have researched free software to make a usb drive into a media player and seen at least 3 that may be good. So now i am asking for recommendations for free software to do this?

You mean like host all your media files on it, or to turn it into a Roku-like device?

I suppose..just trying to update my music into one place/storage..i guess i should have called it a music player along the lines of a MP3 player...I saw, as i mentioned some free software for that,and you install on your flash drive...just wondering which was the best and easy to use..

Something like Pot Player will play your music no matter where it's stored, or if you wish to go more upmarket MediaMonkey can play the files where they are as is, or it can create a database from files stored anywhere and allow you to create playlists and organize to your hearts content. I have over 30,000 mp3's in Monkeys database, and about the same number of mp4's. Fabulous free software.

Since we own three mp3 players, I've never had reason to do this but you can create a playlist in VLC.

If you scroll down to Playlist modes, it seems you can play all the titles once in order, play in random order, or play and then repeat the entire playlist.

Okay, I have 5 mp3 files on my desktop computer. I dragged them into the playlist window of VLC and selected play. This took all of about 10 seconds. They are now playing in order. I haven't figured out random yet.

Found it. Look at the bottom and shuffle is the last button to the far right. Sort of resembles an X
