Select the media file you want to stream by clicking Stream in the File tab then, under Add to, click Add to select the media file you want to stream. Ctrl S is a handy shortcut that can be used to access Stream settings. I mostly use iTunes just to sync my iPod (and the playlists are transferred to the iPod).Īnd of course there’s Windows Media Player, but I’ve never tied a playlist. Open the VLC media player, then navigate to the Media tab in the top left corner and select Stream from there. Select Chapter in the Playback menu to view the list of chapters. The file is played in the VLC media player. In the Open Media dialog, select the media you want to stream. Locate the folder in which the video files are present. (If you want to use release dates, you do have to make sure the songs are tagged with their original release date, and that was a “big project” for me… Compilation albums and some CD re-releases will be tagged with later dates by default so the dates have to be researched and edited manually.) To start broadcasting a network stream, click the Media menu in VLC and select Stream. Of course you can also have regular “manual” playlists too. If I add an album to my iTunes library, it automatically gets added to the appropriate smart playlist(s), so you don’t have to manually maintain them. I’ve got another “Dance & Disco” playlist that includes those two genres, and playlists for each decade. For example, I’ve got an “Early 60’s” playlist that includes songs from 1960-1964, but excludes Christmas music and a couple of other special genres.
Transfer music to create your library: Select Media Library > Add Folder. (Winamp is now “abandonware” but it runs OK on Windows 10.) What to Know Configure VLC: Go to Preferences > Show All > Playlist. I have some M3U playlists that were created with Winamp and I believe it supports a few different playlist formats. I occasionally use VLC, but mostly for DVDs so I’ve never tried a playlist.
