> 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%
