How to play multiple mp3s from flash drive

Hello, all!
I just got a lightning to USB adapter in hopes of being able to play my large collection of mp3s from a flash drive on my iPhone 6s Plus.
It works, but I have the files on the usb organized as folders by artist, then sub folders for each album, then individual files for each song.
The files can be opened and played using the native files app, but only one at a time. Is there a way to select all the files at once so they are played one after the other?
I have tried several MP3 player apps, but none of them showed a directory with the usb drive - they all seemed geared to use with various cloud services.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried this one? It's pretty universal, and you can import folders and albums from various sources. I found it to be a little clunky when I used it, but it wasn't bad.

I use File Browser Biz. It will recognize your connected flash drive. You can navigate thru your music folders. Once in desired music folder, you can select all and press "cue audio" and songs will play. in sequence.

Yes, I did try VLC. I didn't find any option for the flash drive. Thanks, though!
I'll try the biz one- sounds promising!

Fred, I search and didnt find File Browser Biz in the app store, only "FileBrowser for Business," which costs $12.99. Is that the one you mean?
