Function - play # uses mplayer random directories
I have this in my .bashrc and use it to play my music. It is organized by directories and this will play them in random order:

Code:
play(){ ## play directories with mplayer (random)
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    # if no option show music types
    echo -n "
play {directory|style}

Styles:
-------"
    find  ~/music/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | cut -d'/' -f5|sort
else
    # create tmp list
    xtitle "mplayer tunes!"
    clear
    [ ! -e $1 ] && cd ~/music
    find -L $1 -type f -name \*.\* >play.$$
    if [ "$1" == "vids" ]
    then
        \mplayer -fs -msgcolor -shuffle -playlist play.$$ 2>/dev/null
    else
        \mplayer -msgcolor -shuffle -playlist play.$$ 2>/dev/null
    fi

    \rm play.* 2>/dev/null
    cd -
fi
}

I have many other tools and such, if folks find them of use I will post them.

splay

SPLAY(1)							Applications/Sound							  SPLAY(1)

NAME

       splay - MPEG-1,2 Audio layer 1,2,3 file player

SYNOPSIS

       splay [-2VMfmrsv] [-k num] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...

DESCRIPTION

       Splay  is  the  sound  file  player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files.  And you can play these files using list file.  With pthread, it can play
       sound files smoother.

OPTIONS

       Splay has several options.

       -2     play MPEG-Audio files with half-frequency.  If you use this option, you may play MPEG audio files with job which exhausts  CPU  very
	      much.
       -f     display info on played and remaining frames and time.
       -m     force to mono.  Play with mono even if file is in stereo.
       -r     Repeat forever.  If you -r with -s, list files are shuffled every time.
       -s     Shuffle  play.  If  you give list file or a number of files, Splay will rearrange them randomly. And with -r every time the order of
	      files is changed.
       -v[v[v]]
	      Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose.
       -M     Play MPEG file from standard input.
       -V     Show version number.
       -t  num
	      num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and prevents splay from decoding, splay  will  play	back  using  saved
	      frames. This feature lets you do other job freely while listening to MPEG music.
       -k  num
	      num of frames are skipped at the start of playing.
       -d  dev
	      Change device file. Default device file is /dev/dsp.  If you can't use this device file or you can output raw type data to file, you
	      can use this option.  If the first character of dev is / , dev would be considered as device file, If the first character of dev	is
	      - , dev would be considered as standard output, otherwise dev would be considered as normal file.
       -l  list
	      Select list file.  http:// can be used. (e.g. http://localhost/abc.m3u)
       filenames
	      You can put several files, and use http:// If you use -l option, these will be ignored.
