You could do one of the following.  
Load the files into MP3tag.  
Click on the top left column header. This arranges the files in a random order.  
Now you could rename the files with:  
Convert\>Tag-Filename  
%\_counter% \_ %\_filename%

Or you rename them straight away with the Convert\>Tag-Filename function:  
$rand() \_ %\_filename%  
or even  
$num($rand(),5) \_ %\_filename%
