music123
music123(1) General Commands Manual music123(1)
NAME
music123 - plays various sound files (usually including MP3, Ogg and Wav).
SYNOPSIS
music123 [ -hqrvz ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
music123 is a shell around various command line programs to play music files. It will descend directories trees with -r, and randomize
file lists with -z. The programs used and the options given them are listed in /etc/music123rc or ~/.music123rc.
OPTIONS
-h Show command help and exit;
-q Quiet mode. No messages are displayed.
-r Recurse into directories, instead of ignoring them.
-v Display version information and exit.
-z Play files in random order.
-Z Play the files randomly and endlessly.
-l Loop. -z -l differs from -Z in that -z -l will randomize, play through the song list (without repetition) in random order once, and
repeat the songs in that order over and over; -Z will randomly play the songs, without any order, and will possibly play a song
right after itself.
-i Ignore extension case.
-L List files and exit.
-T Start a task that handle commands, only one command supported : quit, using q or Q will quit the application at the end of the cur-
rent song.
-D Set music123 not to delay between songs. (May make music123 harder to kill).
-d Customize the time music123 delays between songs. -d takes one argument, expressed in seconds, which may have a fractional part.
-@ Play the files listed in the mandatory argument of -@. Other files can be added on the command line, and this option can be given
several times. Note that music123 doesn't yet play URLs.
-- End option list.
EXAMPLES
Play three songs:
music123 test1.ogg test2.mp3 test3.wav
Play a couple of directories and other songs at random:
music123 -z -r Rock/ test1.ogg Pop/ test4.wav
FILES
/etc/music123rc
Describes which programs music123 uses, which files types it supports, and which options it passes those programs.
