Repeated sort still only goes by the last one. If you sort once and extract once, that would undoubtedly be putting the cart before the horse.
If the requirements aren't high, you can stop at a superficial taste; otherwise, it's still better to use random.

Please see whether this works
@echo off
for %%i in (*.mp3) do (
echo %%i >>1.txt
)
exit

Saved it, will study it later

Bump again
This really is great

To achieve WMP random playback.
Doesn't the player already have that function?
So much changing back and forth is such a hassle

All experts, I’m convinced by you guys

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

set /p mypath=Enter the directory where the MP3 files are located; press Enter directly to use the current directory:
set t1=%time%
set /a num=1
rem The line below can't handle paths with spaces (can anyone tell me how to solve this?)
rem for /f %%i in ('dir /b *.mp3') do (
rem The line below can handle spaces, please modify the path yourself
for /R %mypath% %%i in (*.mp3) do (
set s!num!=%%i
set /a num+=1
)

set /a fcount=%num%
set /a fcount-=1

:loop
set /a rnd=%random%
set /a rnd%%=%num%
set /a rnd+=1

if not "!s%rnd%!"=="" (
echo !s%rnd%!
call :swap %rnd% "!s%num%!"
set s%num%=
set /a num-=1
)

if %num% GTR 1 goto loop

echo Total files:%fcount%
echo Start time:%t1%
echo End time:%time%

:swap
set stmp=%2
set s%1=%stmp:~1,-1%

Looks like the poster below can't handle filenames with spaces and hyphens...

Add my latest one to this thread too ^_^

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir/a-d/b *.mp3') do call set $%%random%%$%%i=$
for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=$=" %%i in ('set $ ...

This is pretty nice if you change it for listening to music, random playback from an empty playlist.

@echo off

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir/a-d/b/s *.mp3,*.wma,*.ape') do call set $%%random%%$%%i=$

for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=$=" %%i in ('set $') do "C:\Program Files\MPlayer\mplayer.exe" "%%j"

I feel the one below is a bit faster.

@echo off

for /r . %%i in (*.mp3,*.wma,*.ape) do call set $%%random%%$%%i=$

for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=$=" %%i in ('set $') do "C:\Program Files\MPlayer\mplayer.exe" "%%j"

Referring to post #24 and post #34, I'll post my modified one here too.

@echo off

(for %1 %%i in (*.mp3,*.wma)do call echo %%random%%=%%i)%3>nul&%2:EOF

for /f "tokens=2delims==" %%a in ('"%~0" /r,goto,2^|sort')do echo %%a

Or

@echo off&%~1

for /f "tokens=2delims==" %%a in ('%~0 "(for /r %%i in (*.mp3,*.wma)do call echo %%^random%%=%%i)&goto:EOF"^|sort')do echo %%a
