I just bought a little portable stereo that I can put an SD card or flash drive into and it will play the songs on the drive. I have several thousand Mp3’s on my computer and I want to be able to put them on the drive or card and play them. The stereo has nothing but, play, FF, rev, and skip forward or back functionality. All of my files, of course, have titles, lengths and dates. Some have artists, some album name, and some genre. The problem I have is that I can only save them to the drive in alphabetical order (and maybe by length, date, album ect) I want to save them ‘randomly’ or in a shuffled list. This way I do not have to listen in alphabetical order or to all one artist then all of the next, ect. Is there a program which will shuffle already saved filed on a drive or at the least save them ‘randomly’ without having to rename 3000 files one way or the other and allow me to have a random playlist going? Windows does not have a ‘random’ view and I am sure this would have to come from a 3rd party program.
\nAny help would be appreciated!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":9},"question-category":[45],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-2802","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-digitalhome"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/2802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=2802"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=2802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
