Hi there do you know if it's possible to play a random video/music file within a folder which is familiar to the random number function. Currently at the moment I have it setup like this

 Public Class Form1
    Dim r As New Random
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click


        Dim RandomNumber As Integer = r.Next(0, 6)  'Generates Random Number between 0-6
        Select Case RandomNumber
            Case 0
                Process.Start("My File")

This wasn't meant to be posted . If any one can delete this that would be great, unless of course I can delete it(but couldn't find how to)

Get the directory contents as strings, filter for file type, add the contents to an array or List(of T), then generate a random index between 0 and .Count-1, and do a Process.Start(ArrayName(index)).

You'll want to know when the the music stops playing, if you want to carry on with more songs. Check the other members of the Process class.
