Creating a randomized playlist

[sgrzy01]

This propably has been addressed a million times, but I had trouble finding a solution to simply create a randomized playlist locally on my shoutcast server. This server is just shoutcast, no X, no anything else... so to do this I was FTP'ing playlist around to get it into winmap or the like to randomize..

These two short scripts take care of my problem, i'm posting links in case anyone else finds them helpful:

Both scripts are at www.include-im.com/files/shoutcast

"sr" gets rid of spaces in song/directory names. The original script is at http://www.spinningstone.com/spacereplace.php.

"crdnpl" creates a random music.lst from your content

of course, your mileage may vary and use at your own risk...
