just build a playlist with all of the songs you want to play in it, and edit your config file to shuffle the songs.

If you are interested, I use a program called station playlist creator, you can define rotations, categories, voice,promos,sweepers, etc I really love it, you just create a playist load it and watch it do it's thing, not sure if this is what you want, but it's worth looking into here is the address http://www.station************* hope it works out for you!

heh .... those playlist files from winamp can be opened with text editors... and once opened will reveal all needed song info plus some (key: remove the extinf crap and you are good to go).

playlist is a too expensive, i cant afford it.

fc*uk what do u mean opein it with text editer, what will it help me for ?

well, you can drag your mp3's into the winamp playlist.... then save that playlist to your disk. Once saved, you can right click the file and choose 'open with' you can then edit that file to do what ever you want. Then all you need to do is point your configs at this playlist to pull music from.

This will only help you easily create a playlist for your 20gb of songs...

Ok i understand this, but once i alreayd had a playlist in winamp, i dont see the reason of opening in text editer as the list as already made

. How text editer will help me add a jingle after each song specialy if i play a random song on winamp

very true. I apologize. I am more used to the console version in linux, where you need to build the playlist manually.
