That's just mpg123 and a little bash-fu:

mpg123  -Z  --list  <\
	(IFS=`echo -en "\n\b"`; \
	for i in `find $MUSIC_DIR -type f -name '*.mp3'`; \
	do echo "$RANDOM $i"; done | sort | sed -E 's%^[0-9]+ %%' | \
	sed 's%\([^a-zA-Z0-9/\.]\)%\\\1%g')

Sed flags may vary -- I think -E is -r in GNU-sed.

You could probably put VLC in there instead of mpg123 if you wanted to  
support other formats.
