Hi,
is there any trivial solution to play music files from a specific directory in alphabetical order? Something like 'cd directory; mplayer *'. The directory is an sshfs mount currently. I tried to mount it under Music but the Media app didn't index it - and otherwise I don't want to care about the ID3 tags in this case.
Thanks!

To get tracker to index the sshfs mount you need to tweak its settings a bit, as discussed here. (Make sure indexing external memory is on, possibly whitelist your custom directory if you don't want to use one of the defaults) However that would just add the contents to your music library.
Instead you could use xdg-open from the command line. This has the downside that xdg-open does not support multiple files as arguments and currently has limited support for different file types (see this request).
Another possibility would be to generate a m3u with the files you want. Remember to use the full path as seen on the device for this. (I don't know if playlists with files unknown to tracker work though) In the end the easiest way to go is probably to make tracker index the directory and then create a playlist from the contents, either via media player or by hand (or with some script).
Thanks, for the answer! Unfortunately it can open only one file and it gives back the prompt immediately so I can't just wrap it to a simple for loop.
Note: every run of xdg-open creates a playlist with one item which is a children of the previous (I can swipe back)
Note2: for mp3 files it eventually calls "lca-tool --file --triggerdefault $file"

I use "EZ Folder Player". Does exactly this, but it is unfortunately an Android app. It should recognize also mounts in the filesystem.

I recommend Sabas. It is an audiobook player, but it should do what you want.
