Random MixTape Maker description
A program that allows you to create custom playlists from multiple mp3 file sources on your system

Random MixTape Maker will allow you to create custom playlists from multiple mp3 files on your computer.

You can use these playlists to burn fresh, always new compilations to a CD or drag & drop to your portable mp3 player, or just save a playlist for your listening pleasure. You have complete control as to how the playlists are created. Controlling such things as song length, compilation size, compilation length, and files/directories you want to exclude allows you to custom tailor playlist creation to fit your needs.

Making "mix tapes" is as old an idea as the tape recorder itself; Random MixTape Maker was made to create a completely unique list of your favorite songs every time you use it, thus taking the hassle of searching through specific songs every time you want to make a mix of your own. Use it to make fresh mixes for your own listening pleasure, or use it to turn your friends on to your genre of music.

By selecting a directory, Random Mix Tape Maker will search that directory
(and recursively search sub-directories if you choose) for all mp3
files and build a playlist based on the criteria you select. You
may also specify files and directories you want to be excluded from the
search. On the flip-side, you may also specify other files and directories
to be included in the search.

Maybe you already have a playlist with all of your favorite songs.
Random Mix Tape Maker is also able to rebuild a new randomized playlist by
accessing the files listed in your playlist file (*.m3u).
[This method has its limitations, see "Limitations"]

Once a playlist is created you can save it or drag the files listed
into your app of choice (like a CD burning app, mp3 player, etc).
You can even sample the playlist directly from Random Mix Tape Maker by
right-clicking on the list and selecting "Play Created Playlist" or
simply double-click a song to listen to that particular song (in case
you forgot what it was, to see if you want it in your list).

All settings and search lists are saved when you exit the application.
So you will have your own custom criteria already selected each time
you use Random Mix Tape Maker. The created playlist is not auto-saved.
if you like particular playlist created, then simply save it using the
'Save Playlist' button.
