No. But I think I have a solution. Let's say you have this directory 
structure:

/mymedia
/mymedia/music
/mymedia/lectures
/mymedia/audiobooks

and in gnump3d.conf you have 'root=/mymedia'

Then you could have an option on each gnump3d generated page that draws 
random tracks from the *current* directory down, not just from the root 
directory. For example, if I've browsed to /mymedia/music and press the 
"Random Selection" option I would get random selections from 
/mymedia/music and nothing from /mymedia/lectures. Or if I'm in /mymedia 
and press the "Random Selection" option I could get anything. If I'm in 
/mymedia/audiobooks and press "Random Selection" I get only random 
selections from /mymedia/audiobooks and below. Hey, I like that idea!

BTW, I'm a new member to these lists. I need to change the To address to 
address@hidden , and not Steve's email address, right? I'm using 
Thunderbird.
