i have made a simple music player that will randomly choose a song from the list (music)
how can i expand this to a whole directory of music without having to make a list with them all in
heres the code:
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import webbrowser, random
  2. music = [#music was here]
  3. while 1:
  4. 	choice = float(raw_input("Press 1 to play a new song"))
  5. 	if choice == 1:
  6. 		song = random.choice(music)
  7. 		webbrowser.open(song)

I think Python cannot pick a random file in a directory. If that is the question....
Maybe you can walk through the files, and after a random time you play the current music. But that does not make much sense for me.

Is the music directory too large?

I would recommend a more straightforward method, first without recursion.

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import webbrowser, random
  2. import os
  3. import os.path
  4. DIR="your directory containing mp3- files"
  5. music = filter(lambda x: x.lower().endswith("mp3"),os.listdir(DIR))
  6. while 1:
  7.     choice = int(raw_input("Press 1 to play a new song"))
  8.     if choice == 1:
  9.         song = random.choice(music)
  10.         webbrowser.open(os.path.join(DIR,song))

Isn't file list a string? Then I guess it should be able to play that. But here is the way I suggest, instead of using directly file names, use indices and random module:
1. Load all paths into list
2. Load random module
3. After music has ended, use random module to select a random index
4. play the file whose index is chosen

here is the random module issue

thanks it worked but i needed to add
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. music = list(music)
otherwise it was a string like estevemd said

this is my code now
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import webbrowser, random
  2. import os
  3. import os.path
  4. DIR="C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/georges poopy/main music"
  5. music = filter(lambda x: x.lower().endswith("mp3"),os.listdir(DIR))
  6. music = list(music)
  7. while 1:
  8.     choice = int(raw_input("Press 1 to play a new song"))
  9.     if choice == 1:
  10.         song = random.choice(music)
  11.         webbrowser.open(os.path.join(DIR,song))
