Play all music-tracks in a special folder automatically?
Sorry, I'm total new in streaming, it's maybe a dumb question. 
Universal Media Server works fine with my audio-receiver. But is it not possible to play ALL mp3-files in a folder, one after the other, automatically, without a need to start them each? So: I want to start the first track of the album (1 folder = 1 album), and the UMS should do the rest, i.e. starting and playing the following tracks.
(m3u-playlists are not working)

Well, so it seems, it was no dumb question, but one with the answer "no, it's not possible".

Repeat / Play All are usually features in the player / renderer, not the server.
-- UMS serving PS3, WDTV, Samsung H6400 + J5500 and Kalemsoft renderers! (no video transcoding but remuxing accepted

The player is my audio-receiver. My question was not, how to navigate on my receiver, using UMS, but how to navigate, sitting in front of my computer, sending via web-interface in firefox the tracks to my receiver. I don't know how to handle the "playlist" there.

Yeah, don't use UMS. UMS is a media server...that means it just serves media...it holds information about and accesses the media upon request from something else.
You can either do what you want from your receiver itself or if you want to do as you said from a computer get something like foobar2000 and set up it's media sever/upnp player/controller options.
Or if it is a windows accepted track (win10 now accepts flac) in windows explorer just right click on the file/files you want to stream to your receiver and hit playto-->"your recevier" and it should work fine that way
