Running command lines from start-up on Raspberry pi

[a_w_green]

I am using a Raspberry Pi B with the newest version of Raspbian installed. I need to find a way to play a few .mp3 s in sequence from start up. Currently, using omxplayer and just entering into shell: omxplayer /home/pi/Desktop/fourthofjulybySufjanStevens.mp3


What I need to do is, upon start up (using local.rt or whatever else works) To play a bunch of mp3s. As in, when one stops, a new one begins. Preferably randomized each time and on a loop after the last one finishes. I am not very good with shellcode and have almost never used Linux. 

 

 

Sorry for the bad English, thanks

im going to be honest...learn shellcode first. seriously bash code isnt that bad to learn quickly. code you cant understand turns into a major headache quickly.

I know, I really should, but I'm learning python atm. I totally should've started with shellcode. But, can you please help me.

well for that to work. you need to supply whoever can make such code a location with the files. media player you were planning to use. the context its being used for would be helpful. i will say mplayer set to go random in a folder should also work. ill have a look you can set mplayer to play a folder. having them all in one folder with that setup will be far simpler and easy to setup. which i do know how to setup.

EDIT: im looking on omxplayer works as well

EDIT: i did some reading and python was recomended...

EDIT: further notes checks

im throwing together a script now to see if it works anyway.

Ive done some research and found something worth nothing. if you have files/file paths without spaces works and you disable the quotes on the echo $line and then use that setup. works great. issue if you have spaces and use quotes or double quotes it treats it as part of the path and says it cant file the file or things there is multiple files when there is one. still progress.

So far, I've been working wtih omxplayer, but I don't care as long as it works. Actually, omxplayer doesn't have volume controls, so other things could be better.

 

The path is /home/pi/Desktop/fourthofjuly.mp3 for one of them, all the others are just home/pi/Desktop/[nameofsong].mp3 I could put them in one folder, if I did that it would be /home/pi/Desktop/music/[nameofsong].mp3

 

Also, if I need to download anything, give me a link not meant to be taken straight on to the pi; my pi mysteriously won't connect to the internet.

if they are all in one folder. yes. and all it requires is base linux utilties as far i can tell. note the updated file hasnt be debugged again as i dont have omxplayer, and i made change to something i had working before. but it should be fine.

The attached file is just a link to a stackoverflow page. Can I please have a script that I can just write into a shell or a python script? Thanks.
