C# - Playing random sound files from folder [closed]

Answer 1

If you have a specific folder you could do something like this;

var soundsRoot = @"c:\lyde";
var rand = new Random();
var soundFiles = Directory.GetFiles(sounds, "*.wav");
var playSound = soundFiles[rand.Next(0, soundFiles.Length)];
System.Media.SoundPlayer player1 = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(playSound);

Answer 2

// List of files from directory, sorted by *.wav type.
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"F:\Tankat\Music", "*.wav",
                                     SearchOption.AllDirectories);

// Random number from 0 to the amount of files you have
Random rnd = new Random(Guid.NewGuid().GetHashCode());
int choices = rnd.Next(filePaths.Length);

// Create a new player with a random filepath from the array
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(filePaths[choices]);
player.Play();

Answer 3

Try this

and change the line

string[] dirs = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\", "c*");

to

string[] dirs = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\Lyde\", "c:\Lyde\*.wav");

(not Tested)

Then you should have an Array with all the .wav Files.

Answer 4

Retrieve a list of soundfiles from the folder, then just pick a random number between 0 and list.Length-1 and select that file.

//Untested code, but should give you an idea.
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("path");
Random rnd = new Random(Guid.NewGuid().GetHashCode());
int choice = rnd.Next(0, files.Length - 1);
string soundFile = files[choice];
System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(soundFile);
player.Play();
