Been thumping my head against the wall about this one for awhile. I’ve been using Vot’s XML mp3 player ([http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49368](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49368)) for ages now but have a new challenge on my hands, I need the songs in my playlist to randomize as I’m doing a site for a group of songwriters and want to make sure no one ever gets top preference.

Any ideas from the flash gurus of the forum would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!
