I really hate playlists. When I play my MP3's, I like to keep each album in a single folder and play all the mp3's in a specific folder.

With that said, is there any Mac applications that will allow one to play MP3's by folder? I.e. just navigate to a specific folder and the app will play all the tunes therein? With Winamp, I load groups of mp3's by folder, and at worst with Windows Media Player, I can just select all the individual mp3's in a folder and right click to play them all.

I'm not averse to using iTunes, but I find it frustrating to use because it seems to sort by ID3 tags, and with plenty of poorly written ones from 3rd parties as well as inconsistent artist names, etc. I don't have so much control over sorting unless I want to reauthor individual ID3 tags.

VLC will, just drag the folder onto the playlist area.
