Yes, easy done with SH3Cmdr.

Simply create appropriate date sub-folders under the SH3 Commander\Dates\ folder. Then create the full folder path to the Gramophone folder starting from data and copy in the files.

For example:

C:\Games\SH3 Commander\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Gramophone\<All files that you want to play up to 1 Sep 1939>

C:\Games\SH3 Commander\Date\19391001\data\Sound\Gramophone\<All files that you want to play up to 1 Oct 1939>

C:\Games\SH3 Commander\Date\19391101\data\Sound\Gramophone\<All files that you want to play up to 1 Nov 1939>

File copies are cumulative, meaning that if the date is 1 Nov 1939 all files to that date will be available. However, this can be overcome by using the same file names in subsequent folders. For example, if the date was 1 Jan 1940 and your folder structure was:

C:\Games\SH3 Commander\Date\19390901\data\Sound\Gramophone\MySo ng.ogg

C:\Games\SH3 Commander\Date\19391101\data\Sound\Gramophone\MySo ng.ogg

Only one copy of MySong.ogg would be copied into SH3 - the last one.

Have a look at stock SH3Cmdr - it already does this exact thing with radio messages.
