NAME

       minirok - a small music player written in Python

SYNOPSIS

       minirok [options] [file]...

DESCRIPTION

       Minirok is a small music player written in Python for the K Desktop Environment. To start it, select it from the applications menu, or type
       minirok in a terminal.

       To reproduce music, first type in the combo box at the left the directory where music is located, and press enter, or select "Open directo-
       ry"  from  the File menu. Available audio files will be shown in a tree structure. Locate the files you want to play, and use drag and drop
       to append them to the playlist in the right. You can also press double click in a file or a folder to append it to the existing playlist.

       Both the tree view and the playlist have search line widgets above them. Typing text in them will reduce the shown items to those  matching
       the  introduced words. If you press enter after a search in the tree view completes, the visible items will be appended to the playlist. If
       you press enter in the playlist search line, the first visible track will be played.

       You can modify the order in which the tracks are played by enqueueing them in a different order. For this, press right button  click  on  a
       track, and select "Enqueue track". Or press Control + RightButtonClick on the track to enqueue.

       Similarly, you can signal that playing should stop after a certain track. To do this, select "Stop playing after this track" in the contex-
       tual menu as above, or press Control + MiddleButtonClick.

       If you make changes to the filesystem, you can quickly refresh the tree view by clicking on the refresh button next to the combo  box  with
       the directory name. A key can be also configurated to do this, F5 by default.

DBUS INTERFACE

       Minirok	offers a DBus interface to control the player and various other bits. At the moment a single object /Player is provided, under the
       org.kde.minirok service. To invoke a DBus method, run from a terminal qdbus org.kde.minirok /Player methodName.	dbus-send(1)  should  also
       work, but then you'll need to fully qualify the method name.

       Here's a list of available methods:

	   Play
	   Pause
	   PlayPause
	   Stop
	   Next
	   Previous
	   NowPlaying
	   AppendToPlaylist
	   StopAfterCurrent

       See  the README.Usage file for details. Note that this interface will only be available if the required dependencies are installed. See the
       README file a list of these.

LAST.FM
       Minirok can submit played tracks to Last.fm, or any other Last.fm-compatible service (such as Libre.fm). You will just  need  to  configure
       your username and password in the preferences dialog.  Starting with Minirok 2.1, no external software is needed any more.

OPTIONS

       -a, --append
	      Try  to  append  the  files given as arguments to an existing Minirok instance first. If that fails, start a new Minirok instance as
	      usual. (This is done via DBus, see the README file for required dependencies.)

       Minirok also accepts many other options for using the Qt and KDE libraries. Run minirok --help-all for a comprehensive list.

REPORTING BUGS

       Please report bug to the Debian Bug Tracking System. See the README.Bugs file for instructions.
