Whatever... I don't understand your new posting any better. [1]

Ok, I don't know your rpg-routine (*gg*) but if it needs full path names
to mp3s, you can use my playlist generation thingie:

dir /s /b H:\diverse\*.mp3 | sed -e s/H:\\//g

dir:
  /s - recurse into subdirectories
  /b - output simple format
       (like: <Driveletter>:\[[<path>\]...]<filename> )

  H:\diverse\*.mp3 - search Drive H:, Folder diverse, for *.mp3

sed:
 s/H:\\//g - replace any occurence of "H:\" by "" (eg. nothing).


The output of this command pipe are filenames with path but without
Driveletter. It can directly be written to playlist files using ">
filename.m3u". If you have a tool to shuffle lines that takes input from
stdin and gives the shuffled input to stdout, you can simply append it
to the pipe...

HTH.

now... - thats my excuse, hehe ;)
