Please Help to build an addon for Anki

[Mahesh Chiramure]

Hi

I liked the addon "Picture-flasher" written for anki very much
and I was wondering if the same thing could be done with mp3 and/or
flac files. Means I am looking for an addon that chooses a random mp3
and/or flac file from a directory provided by me (to the addon as we
have to provide in "Picture-flasher") and plays it on successful
reviewing of a certain number of cards (as does the addon
"Picture-flasher"). As a music lover, I feel that this addon can
motivate a whole lot of music lovers out there to pay a visit to Anki
on their PC and review to listen to their favorite mp3 and/or flac
files as a reward.

I am not a programmer yet, please guide.

Hoping for a quick response.

"""
A simple plugin that flashes pictures on-screen to reinforce reviews.

Before using:
- Get pictures from someplace. I downloaded pictures off reddit using the 
script at https://github.com/dpbrown/RedditImageGrab
- Change all lines (in the plugin source) marked with "CHANGEME" according to 
your preferences.

For more details, see the post at For more details, see the post at

lower probabilities.
