			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://software.azett.com/index.php?cat=20_Mix2Stix&#038;page=50_Download">Mix2Stix</a> was primarily designed to copy random mp3 files from the hard drive to an USB stick or mp3 player to ease the pain of selecting the music manually. It provides a one click solution with a few comfort functions which I will explain later in this article. The user has to set four parameters after program start that define the process. </p>
<p>He has to select the folder from which the files are copied &#8211; subfolders are automatically included in the process -, a destination drive or folder, a size that should be copied and the file extension. The first two are obvious while the latter two require a short explanation. Size defines the total size of all files that are copied. If you pick for instance 1000 Megabyte as the size and mp3 as the file extension mp3 files with a total size   of about 1000 Megabytes will be copied, never more than that of course to avoid the dreaded disk is full message.</p>
<p>The file extension can be any file extension which means you can also copy avi files, documents, images or anything else that you can think of randomly to the folder or hard drive.It is furthermore possible to add additional file extensions with the &#8220;;&#8221; separator.</p>
<p><span id="more-4179"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/mix2stix.jpg" alt="mix2stix" title="mix2stix" width="408" height="233" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4180" /></p>
<p>Two optional check boxes are available: Clear Destination Dir deletes all files in the destination dir so that it is empty before the copy begins. Replace Existing Files overwrites existing files without asking during the copying.</p>
<p>The configuration can be saved and loaded which is nice if you want to use the program every now and then to load new files on the device. It is even possible to use it once every day before going to school to start the day with a fresh random selection of your music.</p>
<p>Mix2Stix requires Java which has to be installed on the system. The source is included in the distribution.</p>
