randomize usb-stick audio for players that won't shuffle

[ClioCJS]

Tired of bluetooth speakers that won't play the contents of a usb stick in shuffle order? Why not prefix each song with a random 4 digit number?

fix the problem in TCC by randomizing the filesort via prepending a 4-digit random number:

set filemask_audio=*.mp3;*.wav;*.rm;*.voc;*.au;*.mid;*.stm;*.mod;*.vqf;*.ogg;*.mpc;*.wma;*.mp4;*.flac;*.snd;*.aac;*.opus;*.ac3

    for /a:-d /h %audiofile in (%filemask_audio%) echo mv /Ns "%audiofile" "%@FORMAT[04,%@RANDOM[0,9999]]_%@REREPLACE[[0-9]*[\-_]+ *,,%audiofile]"

looks kinda like this [without the color/formatting]:

My fancier looking version is on my github (look for batfile starting with "renumber")

Use playlists. 100% flash players I've seen supports .m3u/.m3u8 playlists. Which are very easy to create.

Bonjour, je vous conseille également d'utiliser des playlists.

Hi, I also advise you to use playlists.

Naive of you to think playlists work everywhere. They don't. Why do you think I had to do this?

But thanks for the unsolicited advice that doesn't solve the problem you haven't personally encountered. You took time out of your day for that.

While not related to JPSoft products - what is MV please?

My bad! THat's just an alias for "move". I like unix stuff to work under non-unix. Let's my brain rest easier.

[To be really technical., mine is an alias that runs to a postprocessor that makes each filename a different color so that i can see the beginnings/ends of long filenames that are wrapped over multiple lines more easily]

Alias mv=move

Maybe post what MV is actually equal to please

@Charles G

Most likely it is simply “MV=MOVE” ... (to have the command name like in Unix) ...

About the post from Claire (@ClioCJS):

As she said: playlists are NOT always a solution! I have a special device here in LAN, which I use also for music files (streaming) and unfortunately it can't handle SUCH playlists. But else it's a very good solution for me personally.

So, the post IS useful!
