I am trying to make a project that includes a random shuffle button for a music playlist. I tried, but I couldn't come up with a way to make it work. Can anyone help me, if it is possible? thx.

Make 2 lists: one for the playlist and one for all the songs. Do repeat length “all songs” {add ((random) of all songs) to playlist}

Hope this helps!

Say you have 5 songs, create a variable and then do this

when green flag clicked
set [The variable v] to [ (pick random (1) to (5))]
if <[The variable] = [1]> then
play sound [song 1 v]
    
end
And so on ^

When it says pick random 1 to 5
use this script

(pick random (1) to (5))

Randomly Shuffle A List (How To: Fisher-Yates) on Scratch
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11888022/
This is a reference to a program on Scratch that shuffles a list.
(Search for “shuffle” in the “Explore” tab and for me it was the first project that came up.

I used it in my game “Minion Memory” and it works well.

If all sound files are in the same sprite or in the backdrop

play sound (pick random (1) to (here the amount of sounds you have)) until done

Greets.

I don't want a song to repeat unil all of the songs play.

The Shuffle Algorithm I suggested shuffles all your songs in your original list into a random order.

If you don't want to shuffle your original song list:

Set “i” to the length of your list.
Put the numbers 1 to i into another list, maybe called “Shuffle List”
Then use the Shuffle Algorithm to shuffle “Shuffle List”.
(If “i” was 10, you will now have a list something like 3,10,1,5,8,6,4,7,2,9)

Now the numbers in this list “Shuffle List” give you a random play order you can use as below:
Set “Num” to 1
Repeat “i”
“NumSongToPlay” = item “Num” of “Shuffle List”
The song you want to play is: item “NumSongToPlay” of “The Name of Your Song List goes here”
Change “Num” by 1

Thanks

Better to start your own topic and share what you have.

You need to put a play sound button until done then a pick random 1 to ( how many songs you have)

Hey, how do I make my music automatically randomize the sound and play the song, for each song I add. Picture of the code block process would be nice. Thanks

Please make your own topic instead.

Here is my method:

repeat (length of [my list] :: list)
set [random number] to (pick random (1) to (length of [my list] :: list)
add (item (random number) of [my list to be shuffled] :: list) to [my list]
delete (item (random number) of [my list to be shuffled] :: list) of [my list])
end

most of the other methods they posted would most of the time play the same song more than once & some not at all.

I'm not sure if the Scratch update changed this code, but I can't seem to replicate it.
Any ideas?
