I have several tens of thousands of MIDI files from 90s. They are too many for
'random play' feature of the Timidity++ which is used with 'eawpats', the GUS
patches.
Here is my bash script to play them in random order:
===
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
IFS='
'
fns=(`find ~/mid/ -iname '*.mid'`)
while :; do
timidity -a -OdS -in -j -t 1251 -E t -p a -R 500 -EFreverb=127 -EFns=4
${fns[$((${#f...@]}*$random/32767))]}
done
===
Of course I miss the 'Previous track' functionality.
