Open folders directly from the Music app #832

Problem

Currently, the only way to select and recursively add all music files contained in a folder is through the file manager, using the "Open In" context menu. The app window offers no equivalent functionality, as it only lets you select one or more files, not folders.

Proposal

On Amberol — which is a very similar player — you can press the Add Folder button to select any folder and include all playable audio files contained within into the playlist.

This would require recursively traversing the directory structure to gather all music files inside. Note that I organize my music in an Artist > Album structure, and I often want to play all albums from an artist. Amberol lets me select the Artist folder to include everything inside.
