How to playback all files within a folder?

Hello
I just installed the trial for Wild Media Server and it works fine for me! There is one question for me - it shoud be simple, I think - but I couldn't figure it out:
In the folders tree on the left I have all folders from "User\XX\Music". When I click on one of these folders, for example "Album 1", it's contents is displayed in the right window. So I have all mp3 files from "Album 1" displayed here.
When I rightclick one of these files, and choose "Play to..." and then choose my Media Player, this works fine. But: when I select all and want them to play to my Media Player, nothing happens! What's wrong then? How to play all files within a folder onto the Media Player?

You can drag and drop the folder to device thumbnail, open DMR-device control (double click), start play.

Thank you for your fast reply! I will try that when I'll be at home.
And may I ask another question - just for clarification: Do I need one licence only, for my Media Player? I can use Wild Media Server on all my 3 computers at home, the licence is only for the Media Player?

Yes, you need licence for the Media Player only.

I still have a problem: After adding a folder with drag and drop to the device thumbnail and playing its folders - and then, when I later on want to add more files/folders to the device, the files are not being played. I still see the last file I used to listen to, see pic "Favola di Natale" is standing on the top. I used to listen this one before, but now it isn't on my playlist, but I cannot delete it.

Just click "Play next"

Thank you - got it now!
And just now discovered the 64bit installation package in this forum. It's not listed on the Downloads site.

I have another question: playing local files works fine now, playing Internet Radio Stations is a little bit tricky. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not.
For example one of my favorite radion stations offers and mp3, a pls and a wax file for download, in order to use with a media player, as well as the following 3 links:
I have added a link in the INTERNET RADIO folder, and tried all of these 3 links. When I drag and drop this file onto my UPNP Player, and want to play it there, it works sometimes, but most of the time I get the message that playing is "STOPPED".
What would be the reason - do you have any suggestion?

You can try a playback in VLC Media Player (
http://www.videolan.org) and use the transcoding profile "Music - Internet-Radio (VLC)". Select a link - right click - "Transcoding profile" - "Music - Internet-Radio (VLC)".
Unfortunately links not available for me.
