Free random music 1.1 software for linux

For a long time I wanted to play a random "album" in Amarok. I could not find how to do it with what existed, so I got around to write my own (first) amarok script.
Random Album should be a playlist really, but I dont know yet how to do that.
So here it is. It will play a random album from your collection. Upon reaching the last song, it will load a new one in the playlist.
Alternatively, you can select to play a random artist (see the configuration)
The script acces the database. Ive only tried with MySQL. I think that the "album" mode will work with SQLite, but not the "Artist" mode.
Enhancements:
- For amarok 1.4.3 and above(?) ONLY! For ealier versions use 0.2
- Changed script to work with Amarol 1.4.3
- The "tags" table in the database now contains the path of a file below a given "device" (defined in table "devices"). The script now handles that correctly using KURL.
- The "album path" filter filters according to the path below the "device" path. The device path is not taken into account
BUG
- No attempt is made to check that the files do exists... This may be problem.... There seem to be no such a method with KURL and the "unicode" function refuse to take a QString (PyQt says it should) so I cant convert things to use os.path.isfile()

Mr. Random project is a utility useful for filling a portable MP3 audio player with music randomly selected from a larger collection situated on a computer hard drive.

This is a good idea if you cant make up your mind what you want to hear, you prefer to be surprised by a selection of music you may not have heard in a while, or want to hear familiar music juxtaposed in novel combinations.

xmmstcl lets you control XMMS playback, skip, pause, change the playlist, change skins, and do everything else provided by the xmms_remote_* methods, which is almost everything from the standard user interface.

xmmstcl plugin also has some things not available there, such as "XMMS onchange" which lets your Tcl/Tk application know when something happens in the player. The companion "TkPlayer" has samples for the most important functions and will keep XMMS busy by generating random playlists with songs that you havent heard in a while.

Randomplay is a command-line based shuffle music player that remembers songs between sessions.
Randomplay plays your music collection (or execute any arbitrary commands on any arbitrary filetypes) in random order, remembering songs played across sessions.
Randomplay also has many features to make command-line music playing more convenient, including recursive regexp searching for tracks and the ability to specify a certain number of tracks, bytes, or minutes to play.
Randomplay will also generate a list of music files to be loaded onto a portable music player device. It includes a random weighting feature, so your favorite songs are more likely to come up in the random shuffle.
Randomplay is a convenient tool for the user who does everything in an xterm window or console and is constantly devising complex find/grep/sed command lines to play just the right set of songs.
Following are some example invocations of randomplay to give a general sense of its flexibility; see the manpage for more complete information:
Play all ogg files in dir1 and dir2 under your home directory, and dir3 under the base directory specified in ~/.randomplayrc, which have not been played for 15 days in random order with 5 seconds between songs:
randomplay --days=15 --pause=5 --player ogg=ogg123 ~/dir1 ~/dir2 =dir3
Play all ogg, wav, and mp3 files under the current directory (or base directory, if specified in .randomplayrc file) which have not been played for 10 days in alphabetical order, switch the skip to next song keystroke to G or g and quit to q or c:
randomplay --norandom --key next=Gg --key quit=qc
Play all files under the current directory with the strings "frisell" and "bill" in the filename, in any order, (saves having to hunt down a file in a hierarchy), ignore whether the file has been played recently, but stop playing after 15 minutes:
randomplay --regexp frisell bill -0 --maxtime=15m
Display 100M worth of music files, randomly sorted, without recording the history of tracks, using the default music directory (or the current directory if not specified):
randomplay --maxsize=100M --noremember --names-only
Play the last 10 songs played over again:
randomplay --last=10
Play songs test.ogg, test2.ogg, test3.ogg, and all files in musicdir in random order without weighting preferred songs:
randomplay --noweight test.ogg test2.ogg test3.ogg musicdir
Copy 128M of songs into a Neuros Audio Player, using positron:
positron add randomplay --names-only --maxsize=128M
Pick a random jpeg or png file that has not been displayed in the last week from the images directory and display it with ImageMagick display command:
randomplay --player jpg=display --player gif=display --days 7 ~/images
Enhancements:
- New keystrokes for pausing and displaying all available keystrokes while playing were added.
- UTF-8 output for MP3 tags can now be disabled.
- A bug that prevented randomplay from working with sox was fixed.
- The documentation was improved.

Top Music allows you to publish music (albums, songs, sound tracks, rankings, artists, etc.) to create an online music portal.

It features: A-Z list of bands; band information (name, photo, genre, biography, etc.); discography; album information (title, year, covers, band, etc.); albums songs lists; song information (title, album, number, lyrics, etc.); the ability to listen to tracks; searching; ranking lists (most visited, most voted, etc.); a voting system; an uploads system; themes; an easy configuration screen; many blocks; multi-language support; easy installation; and a support forum, mailing lists, and Sourceforge.net support (CVS, files, etc.)

Quantum::Random is an optical quantum random number generator front-end.

SYNOPSIS

package Your::Package;

use strict;
use Quantum::Random qw(quantum_random);

my @numbers = quantum_random(10, 5);

die "Error: $Quantum::Random::Errorn" unless @numbers;

print join , , @numbers;

Quantum::Random is a front-end to the optical quantum random number generator at the Computer Science department of the University of Geneva. For details on the generator, visit: http://www.randomnumbers.info/
The site states, "The Computer Science department of the University of Geneva has developed a server/client application for scientist from around the world to be able to download random numbers directly in the C, C+, Fortran or Java codes [sic] used for their simulations."

As they have no stated plans for developing a perl interface, I have taken it upon myself to author one.

USAGE

The subroutine quantum_random will be exported into your namespace as shown above. It accepts two mandatory arguments. The first argument represents the number of random numbers you want (i.e., the quantity) and must be between 1 and 1000. The second argument represents the maximum number that you want any given random number to be (i.e., the maximum) and must be between 1 and 10000. On success, you will be returned a list of random numbers. On failure, you will be returned an empty set and can get details on the failure by checking the contents of $Quantum::Random::Error.
