I haven't tried it, but I found this: http://ampr.ophenix.org/

I assume you've also found it, as it's on the front page in the google results. For those of you who don't quite get what he's looking for, I think he's searching for a program that picks songs at random from a selected folder and queues them at the end of the playlist.

If you don't mind using the Winamp library, there's a plugin that selects songs at random from the library instead of a folder and queues them instead of a selected folder.

If you just want to randomize the order the songs are listed in a playlist, the feature you're asking for is already built in:



Of course, there's an option to play the list in a random order as well, but I'll happily assume that wasn't what you were looking for.

Yeah, those were my thoughts initially, too, but when I looked it up in Google, somebody stated that it kills your computer's resources if you enqueue superfluous amounts of music. It's a lot of trouble for a very picky feature, in my opinion.

Ya, thanks, I kept right clicking instead of checking the oh-so-obvious sort list.
