Creating random stream of content from list of files on server

    Ok, so basically I was wondering what exactly would be involved in creating a radio like player on my site that would either randomly pick a file or have me pick a few files ahead and then it would play the stream for everyone that decides they want to listen to it at that time, using the files hosted on my server. Here's the files I want to be using: http://files2.llarchive.com

    I know it is possible to set such a thing up from your desktop computer however I do not have enough bandwidth to support it which is why I'm asking of a method of doing this via files already on a server.

    you can do it in php, you would need to rename the files to 1.mp3, 2.mp3 etc, then have a info file that holds the name of each file, and the length of each mp3.

    i can program it for you for a small fee, but you would need to set the things listed above up first.

    Thanks, unfortunately the only problem with that is I need the files to be labeled how they currently are. Is it possible to do it with the current names also?
