audio - applescript play random sound when pressing cmd + enter -


i'm looking play random sound set of sound clips in folder when press cmd + enter. applescript running , whenever user presses cmd + enter random sound (mp3) played without opening itunes, preferably behind scenes.

thanks!

i didn't know afplay, that, simple script it:

property soundsdirectory : posix file "/path/to/sounds/" alias  tell application "system events" ¬     set soundfile posix path of (some item of soundsdirectory alias)  shell script "afplay " & quoted form of soundfile 

if have classic mac path of form macintosh hd:users:you:sounds:, can use property soundsdirectory : alias "macintosh hd:users:you:sounds:" instead, either work. some item of <list> command returns random item list; have promise applescript alias as alias can unix-style path out of it. quoted form of <text> command puts text in single quotes (while escaping single quotes) use in shell; afplay plays it.

for ⌘↩ requirement, i'd use spark, although there number of options. spark runs in background , lets execute applescript on keyboard shortcut, among other things. don't know way have applescript running, fast enough start shouldn't issue. you'll have spark running instead.
