Am I understanding correctly?
Correct. Although if the song was released *during* July and you don't know the exact date, I'd prolly put it in the August 1940 folder to ensure you don't get it too early.

Depends what you mean by Randomisation. With SH3Cmdr, all you need do is select the "Randomise Gramophone tracks" option and all tracks present in the Gramophone folder at time of running SH3 will be shuffled.

If you only want some tracks to play but not others, then you have a more complicated process by using SH3Cmdr's Random folder structure. Essentially the same as above, but you create the sub-folders under the Random\0\, Random\1\ etc etc folders. You can add more than the default 5 folders. SH3Cmdr selects a random number and will then load everything located under the associated Random\x\ folder.
