i'd suggest not using 'announcements' and use moh.
you can setup any number of subdirs and assign that as moh for a queue,
it just randomly plays the files within the dir. remove -z  for fifo (iirc)

<>op => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/op,-z      ; randomly play all 
files in op directory
vr => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/vr,-z        ; randomly play all 
files in vr directory
