I had digitised an old vinyl collection, most of which can&rsquo;t be found on YouTube!</p> <p>The program is simple: it finds all the tracks from a given directory and its subdirectories, and plays them in a random order. If your music is organised into categories or artists, then you can target a particular genre by passing in the appropriate directory as the first argument.</p>
