 Basic Playlist Controls in VLC 1.2 for Mac

This is an image of the first view one will get on opening VLC (the submenus to the left, are by-default closed).

Media can be added to the playlist by clicking on the Open media... button, and choosing your options appropriately.

Alternately, media can be added by dragging and dropping its icon from anywhere into the box.

Additional media can be added in between the playlist, in any desirable order, or into a new playlist, by dragging and dropping further.
