that ability is built into vlc.

open VLC in desktop, insert a cd/dvd in drive.

after a short pause, VLC will show a folder icon with CD/DVD.

click the the "Play" icon at lower left, enjoy your music.

you may also change play order using the 2 leftmost icons along window
bottom.

if you wish to play a group of music cd's without having to insert,
copy them to below a common top directory by artist name followed by
album name.

such is accomplished by inserting cd in drive, after music has started,
click;

   Media > Save Play List

in "Save playlist as..." window, enter where ever you wish to save,
enter a name.

after you have added a group of albums, open a file browser, open top
director of where albums are save. split directory window, create a new
directory, ie, "a2z", (Atlanta Rhythm Section 2 ZZ Top). open each album
in artist directory, link each song to "a2z" directory.

open VLC, press <ctrl+f>, in "Open Directory", enter path to "a2z"
directory, double click "a2z".

select, or not, loop and random icons at bottom left.

enjoy your music.

hth.
