simple shuffle and copy
Posted: 13 Apr 2012 05:11
hi guys, ... this should be an easy one
i need a way to copy files from one folder to another in random order (i am surprised my search efforts failed to find one). the purpose is to get songs onto an SD card in a shuffled order which i can change every couple of weeks, or when i add a new album. my player only reads data in the order it was copied.
- directories would be j:\music to H:\music
i would also be open to having the files renamed with a random number infront of them ie., 001-500, provided i can then copy them to another folder in the newly numbered order, and that when the program was run for a second time it would replace the numbers not append to them.
-if it can run on vista/win 7 that would be great, but i will be dual-installing xp and win 7 soon, as i will be upgrading to ssd for my main drive
(very sorry if there is a post on this already, but i spent alot of time searching before asking for help)
ty for any help
