The idea arose from the stereo of my father's car is not there an iPod Shuffle. Then I thought:
Since he does not randomises well, why not bring the file names already randomized?
Quickly decided to do in Java and gave it there:

The form is simple to use, following an example below:
RandomFiles.randomize ("D: \ Test \", false); RandomFiles.randomize ("D: \ Test \", true);
For the first call the output is:
Initializing random renaming ...

>>> Arquivo3.html renamed 210904720.html
Finished!
For the second call the output is:

Outgoing messages are used only to monitor the implementation of the program.
I hope it's useful to someone as it was for me. When you have time I will make a version of Python and / or Shell-Script and also install a decent OS (eg saw the trash, right?) Here on the PC in the house of my parents.
