Despite its name, moosic isn't a music player; it's a playlist-management program. You can configure it with any desired "player" or "viewer" program for a given file extension, so you can get it to e.g. invoke MPlayer for video files and qiv (or suchlike) for image files. If you also run it in loop mode, when it reaches the end of the (potentially shuffled) playlist, it will go back to the beginning and start over. The two problems I haven't found solutions for yet are: * Although moosic can shuffle the playlist into random order on demand, it doesn't seem to contain an option to do so automatically, e.g. when reaching the end of the playlist in loop mode. (However, since it's written in Python and - from what I remember last time I looked at it, which was years ago - seems to be relatively modular, it might not be too hard to add such a behavior.) * The way moosic detects when to move on and "play" a new item is by watching when the program it invoked for playing the previous item exits. With video and audio files this works fine, since they generally have a fixed duration (default-loop formats like IT and XM aside) and the players can be told to automatically exit when finished playing, but image files don't. To make such a random slideshow progress automatically using moosic, you would need an image viewer which can be told to "display the image for X seconds, then exit". I don't know if any such exist. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
