Is this posible???

Hello brothers, I want to make a skin with a button and when I press it more buttons with music artists appears (that I know how to) but I want to make click on an artist and (here comes the tricky part) I want RainMeter plays that entire folder of that artist with my default player... I don't want to make it that triggers into a Playlist, because every time I would add songs there (in that artist's folder) I would have to make a new Playlist file for each artist... That's why I want to RainMeter plays that entire folder no matter what songs are in the folders, wich are always changing... All I need is the command or trigger to do that...
Thanks for reading!!

This code is really not smart, and incomplete. But anyway plays all mp3 files in a specific folder randomly by music player.
In this case, the default music player for music file must be equal to the player supported by NowPlaying plugin. Maybe this code has wrong concept...

Maybe, just maybe, this is another improved version of the above code.

Or... this is not what you want? If so, I am really absurd.
