Not quite sure what you want?

Do you want to create a random playlist depending on what time it is?

If so, simply check the time on opening the app, then relate this to a playlist labelled with that time (or within that time frame)

You will need to use the clock instant and lists

Thx for reply 
I want to create application, the user can choose some music from a list then he can choose how many times playing the chosen music randomly from a time list , something like alarm ringing every 1 hour for example but every time its ringing by different music

-choose your favorite songs:
*a
*b
*c
*d
--------------
-choose how many times you want repeat it
* every 1 hour
* every 3hour
* every 6hour

see the Jukebox example app, which uses the file extension here https://puravidaapps.com/file.php

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the
 Top 5 Tips: How to learn  App Inventor

You will not find a tutorial, which does exactly what you are looking for. But doing the tutorials (not only reading a little bit) help you to understand, how things are working. This is important and this is the first step to do.
