How to prevent automatic jumping to the next track?

Question

I need to play a list of mp3 files one by one. I mean I need to go to the next track manually. I tried to do so in PotPlayer, WMP and VLC. All of them jump to the next track after playing the current file. How to prevent this?

Solution 1

VLC does it like a champ, under tools > preferences, first set it to show all in the bottom right, then select the playlist item from the list on the left, and you can see a whole bunch of playback options and good help for each one if you ouse over!

VLC is always champ.

Solution 2

How about opening each file through a file manager?

Thats what I do whenever I'm looking through the windows sound files when changing the windows sound scheme. Same goes for looking for a new ring tone on my mobile.

Solution 3

With VLC you can stop the automatic skipping by selecting the "no loop" icon at the bottom of the viewport. The icon will show a vertical bar in the center when the no-loop option is selected.

Thanks for your comment. It's not what I'm looking for.

On VLC 3.0.6 Vetinari on Windows, it was Tools> Preferences>> (lower-left) Show settings: All>> left menu: Playlist>> Play and pause.
