VLC Untied

If you use your computer as your personal multimedia center, you probably wished for a little more flexibility now and then, since players rarely have all the features you need from the beginning.

VLC Untied is one of the applications that can simplify your life by letting you quickly customize your playlist using keyboard shortcuts.

The setup process couldn't be easier, as you're not required to perform any advanced configurations or take any complicated steps during it.

The only operations you have to perform are unpacking the archive the installer comes in, launch the installer, decide whether or not you want a desktop shortcut to be created and hit the "Install" button. That's it.

It is important to mention that in order for VLC Untied to run on your computer without any issues, you must provide it with Administrator privileges. Otherwise, an error might pop up and make the app seem unusable.

As stated above, this application can help you simplify the way you interact with VLC Media Player when it comes to quick playlist management operations. Usually, opening a video or audio file on your PC in VLC while the app is already playing another file just adds the new one to the playlist, which might be frustrating sometimes.

VLC Untied can help you either create new playlists with the new items or add them to the current playlist directly from explorer by using a couple of keyboard shortcuts, which can be customized by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting the "Settings" option from the menu.

If you'd like to add items to the current VLC playlist or create new ones by using your keyboard, VLC Untied is exactly what you're looking for. It's easy to install, can be quickly configured and works like a charm. Note that it requires Administrator privileges.
