The lack of a simple shuffle/random feature on USB music playback has prompted me to code a small Windows application to hack my own no-repeat random playback in the Model S.
I'm seeking 6 beta testers for evaluation.
This program will require the following:
- mp3 or flac files only
- all files on root drive of USB device (no folder structure)
- existing files are properly tagged
- filenames are <artist> <title> only (i.e. "The Beatles - I Want to Hold Your Hand.flac")
Please Note: The are many programs available to accomplish <artist> <title> naming convention. I'd highly recommend Media Monkey: http://www.mediamonkey.com
What this program does:
- Counts the number of media files (i.e. 750)
- Randomizes 001 thru 750 and assigns each file a number
- Retrieves file "Title" tag and changes to the assigned random number + Title (i.e. Title tag "Help" becomes "045 Help")
- Retrieves file "Track Number" tag & eliminates it (Tesla keys on track # and Album tags to correctly title song thus defeating shuffling)
- Renames file itself (i.e. "The Beatles - Help.flac" is renamed to "The Beatles - 045 Help.flac"
- With playback, proper artist/album/image appears
- Will play all 750 files in randomized non-repeating order.
After all music has played thru once, it will repeat from 001 or you can reshuffle with TeslaShuffle program again.
