Non-Recurrent Shuffler

Hi, i'd like to share this little app i made:

Non-Recurrent Shuffler takes an input m3u or m3u8 file and organizes it semi-randomly. The app randomizes the playlist, then scans the files and sorts them according to a user selected tag (Default: Artist). Files with the same tag are spread out evenly in the playlist, never playing twice in a row (when possible).
The only situation where it won't work is if the most popular tag takes up more than half the playlist, in which case the program just spreads them evenly an does the best it can.

I made this for myself because i couldn't find anything like it on the Internet. It's great for making mix CDs and such.
It's my first project using Python, so it's probably inefficient and loaded with bad practice, but it works

Updated.
I decided to rewrite this thing to make it easier to use. You can now just drag and drop a playlist file onto the exe to shuffle it, or you can use the command line for a few advanced options.
I'm unfamiliar with GitHub, but you should be able to download the zip here: NRS v2016.
