This may seem like a fairly odd question, but I wanted to know if it were possible for the Track Info Mod to display *random* images from a specified directory. So that each time a song changed, images that are in a track info mod could be switched around.

For example:

$imageabs(2,8,%foobar_profile_directory%\subfolder\*.png,alpha-150)

Where * would tell the track info mod to change the image when a new song is played. Thats just a rough example. I'm sure a better method could be arranged.

I don't know if its already possible, and I just haven't found it, or if it just doesn't exist.

as far as i know trackinfomod and singlecoloumnplaylist don't support * wildcards. but you could do this if you know the filenames of your covers. like setting foobar to choose a random image out of some you define. you would need to specify all the filenames tho. (front.png, back.png, etc)

trackinfomod does support wildcards in both $imageabs2() and $fileexists() however there is no real way to tell it to choose randomly from the results of the wildcard match.

You should be able to do something like this, however:

$imageabs2(150,,,,,,2,8,/images\image$rand(5).png,)

To randomly select between images named like this:
image0.png
image1.png
image2.png
image3.png
image4.png
image5.png
all in your foobar images directory.

Sorry for the very late reply. Been having personal issues. Anyways, I'm back.

Thank you for that code Yotsuya, but it isn't 'quite' what I need . It does indeed select images at random, but it keeps doing it lol. I need a code that will make the image random upon a track change. And only a track change.

Is that possible?

Instead of placing the code under a // PerSecond header, place it under a // PerTrack header. This way the images will only change when you change tracks not every second.
