You would have to use javascript to generate the wmp embed code, so that each time the page loads, a
new target song is written within the embed code.
The basic method would be to create a javascript array with all the songs, then a javacsript
function that randomly picks one, then a javsacript function that generates the embed code with the
choosen song.
Don't know javascript enough to give you a code example, but you can Google that, or else, wait for
some javascript guru to answer.

you can also use any server-side language, following the same method. The advantage of a server side
language will be that you won't need to manually write down the array containing all the songs,
server-side code can automatically go look into your folder containing all the songs and create an
array from all the files inside it. So you could add songs or remove songs from the folder and the
array will always be accurate.
If you can use PHP I can give you a code example of how that would be done...

no, you probably won't find a "javascript playlist shuffle" on Google...
But you can find what a "javascript array" is, and how to pick a "random value in the array", and
how to write the embed code... These are the 3 functionalities you need.

You're trying to do something that requires a little research, maybe a lot if you know nothing about
javascript.

As for PHP, all you need to know, is whether your host supports it or not, and if it does, I could
then help you concretely with some code examples (I don't know javascript that well, but I know PHP).

See if your host supports PHP, and come back here with an answer.

ok, so I'll try to give you a step by step instruction:

first, put all your audio files in one folder, within your main site folder, and call that folder
"audio".

Second, change the extension of the page in which you will have the songs playing, from htm to php.
I will assume this page is also in the main site folder. If it's called 'index.html', change it to
'index.php'.

Third, in code view, paste the following code, above all the rest of the code (above the doctype).
Code to paste start with "<?php" and ends with "?>".

<?php
// GENERATE ARRAY WITH ALL AUDIO FILES
if ($handle = opendir('audio')){
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if (is_file($path.'/'.$file) && $file !== '.' && $file !== '..' && $file !== '.DS_Store'){
$files[] = $file;
}
}
}

// COUNT THE FILES
$songsNum = count($files);

// GENERATE RANDOM NUMBER FROM 0 TO THE NUMBER OF FILES
$rand = rand(0,$songsNum-1);
?>

Third, find in your code the part that concerns the embedding of window media player. It should look
something like this:

<object id="MediaPlayer" width="500" height="400"
classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player
components..." type="application/x-oleobject"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">
<param name="filename" value="folder/song1.mp3">
<param name="stretchtofit" value="true">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="folder/song1.mp3" name="MediaPlayer"></embed>
</object>

In any case, in this code, there are two occurences of the link to your audio file. In the above
example, these two occurences are:
<param name="filename" value="folder/song1.mp3">
and:
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="folder/song1.mp3" name="MediaPlayer">

In both occurences, replace "folder/song1.mp3" with: <?php echo 'audio/'.$files[$rand]; ?>

so that the lines will be changed to:

<param name="filename" value="<?php echo 'audio/'.$files[$rand]; ?>">
and:
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="<?php echo 'audio/'.$files[$rand]; ?>" name="MediaPlayer">

That's all. The PHP code will look into your audio folder, and select one audio file at random each
time you reload the page.
Note that if you preview the page locally, it won't work. It will only work ONLINE, once you upload
the page and the folder containing all the audio files.

Let me know if that's clear and if it works.

and oh, yes, if your page was 'index.htm' and you've changed it to 'index.php', when you type your
site address, it is still index.htm that will show, not index.php. To see index.php, type:

http://yoursite.com/index.php

If the page works properly, you can delete 'index.htm' from your remote site.
