m3ushuffler

Shuffle your M3U Playlists easily!

This simple python tool will shuffle your M3U playlists while keeping the Extended M3U (EXTM3U) metadata in the right place. If you want to shuffle M3U playlists without metadata (i.e. without files starting with #EXTINF), you can simply use shuf instead:

shuf /path/to/playlist.m3u > /path/to/output.m3u
