Python. Randomly plays music files off a directory, randomly. Awesome im combination with a Raspberry Pi and a car :)

copilot_music.py

import os,random,time,sys

mp3s = []
mediapath = "/media/Music"

for path,directory,element in os.walk(mediapath,False):
	print("Loading music from" + path + "...")
	tmparray = element

	for i in range(0,len(tmparray)-1):
		if(tmparray[i][-3:] == "mp3" and tmparray[i][:1] != "."):
			mp3s.append(tmparray[i])
		else:
			print("Unuseable:",tmparray[i])

	print("Loaded" + str(len(mp3s)) + "files, of" + str(len(element)) + "total")

random.shuffle(mp3s)

for i in range(0,len(tmparray)-1):
	print(mp3s[i])
	os.system("mpg123 '" + mediapath + mp3s[i] + "'")
	time.sleep(1)

        music_dir = "C:\\Users\\Aarav\\Downloads\\Python\\Jarvis\\Jarvis1\\songs\\"  
        files = os.listdir(music_dir)
        music = random.choice(files)
        os.startfile(os.path.join(music_dir, music))

this will work in python 3.8.5
I have tested it

I know this entry is old as the hills but it is still useful! Thanks for sharing. Since my music can be in very complex directory structures the following code changes worked best for me.

import glob,os,random,time,sys

mediapath = "/media/thomas/CORSAIR/Music/"
# mediapath needs a trailing slash (i.e. /root/dir/)

mp3s = []
for filename in glob.iglob(mediapath + '**/*.mp3', recursive=True):
	mp3s.append(filename)
random.shuffle(mp3s)
for i in range(0,len(mp3s)-1):
	print(mp3s[i])
	os.system("play '" + mp3s[i] + "'")
	time.sleep(1)
