Do a find files, and pipe the output to a .pls file. That will give you an
instant playlist file from a directory. Example:
find /home/brandon/Music/ -name *.mp3 > playlist.pls
If you pipe the find output to shuf, you can get any number of random files,
this gets you two:
find /home/brandon/Music/ -name *.mp3 | shuf -n 2
I think you could find a way to generate a .pls file on demand with the
contents you need, or use request.dynamic to call a script that returns the
files you want and put them into a LS queue

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
