I’m a newbie so insight into where my URLs and titles go would be great. Are they separated by commas?

Is there another audio player / ad server out there that might be able to accomplish this? * [tsenglabs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsenglabs/) * (@tsenglabs) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-audio-player-random-player-with-automatic-insertion/#post-1453635) * Great!!

Why does this player verify a music directory if it doesn’t do anything with it? * Would be cool to see the widget plugin just do the random and play it from a directory or an xml file. * Thank you kindly, 🙂 * [tsenglabs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsenglabs/) * (@tsenglabs) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-audio-player-random-player-with-automatic-insertion/#post-1453660) * Yes this code should be used with this widget plugin! 🙂 Yes, can it also play from a directory on the server, also random: rand(1,5)->play the file 1.mp3 2. mp3 3.mp3 4.mp3 5.mp3 …you have to rename the file so! you can change the number up to what you want. es: rand(1,100) for 100 song: 1.mp3 2.mp3 ………………. 99.mp3 100.mp3 * [kidkilowatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidkilowatt/) * (@kidkilowatt) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-audio-player-random-player-with-automatic-insertion/#post-1453661) * I have my track names/numbers in a post… `[audio:track1.mp3,track2.mp3,track3. mp3|titles=Song 1,Song 2,Song 3|artists=Artist 1, Artist 2, Artist 3]` * and I display the post within my header file. `` * How can I adjust the random code to work with that specific post?

Or another version of this, perhaps?
