randoMp3 is a Perl script that creates XMMS playlists of random songs with a small footprint.
One of the great things about randoMp3 is that you can also set a time limit to ensure that the script stops selecting MP3s when the total playing time of your playlist is approximately equal to the given time limit (with a variation of +/- 4 minutes). This gives you even more control over your listening experience.
To use randoMp3, you will need to install the 'MP3::Info' module. This can be done easily by typing "$perl -MCPAN -e 'install MP3::Info'" into your command line. Once you have the module installed, you can use the script with a variety of options.
For example, you can specify the playlist name and root directory for your MP3s using the "-f" and "-d" options respectively. You can also set the time limit or number of files to include in your playlist using the "-t" or "-n" options. And if you need help with any of these options, you can always refer to the "-h" option for a helpful dialog.
Overall, randoMp3 is a great choice for anyone who wants a simple and effective way to generate playlists for XMMS. With its easy-to-use options and reliable performance, it is definitely worth considering if you are looking for a reliable playlist generator. The only requirements are Perl, the MP3::Info module, and XMMS – so it is easily accessible for most users.
