Gescom MiniDisc Runner is a Python script that generates M3U playlists for Gescom's 1998 MiniDisc album, iterating through all 88! possible track orders in lexicographic order and playing each via VLC. It's an interesting conceptual/artistic experiment in combinatorial music playback, but has extremely narrow utility since it requires the user to already own the 88 tracks and only fits one specific album.

Target audience: music enthusiasts and experimental art/combinatorics hobbyists
