CLI audio players for Linux

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:00:00 GMT
What would life be without music? Given the proper codecs, in Linux you can play almost any digital audio format. Linux has many graphical applications that can do the job, such as Amarok, Rhythmbox, Audacious, and XMMS, all of which provide an intuitive user interface, playlist sorting, and various other options. But what if you want low resource usage so you can play tunes on aging hardware? Here are some alternative players for the Linux command line.

NAME
plaympeg - MPEG audio (MP3) and video (MPEG-1) player SYNOPSIS
plaympeg [options] file ... DESCRIPTION
plaympeg is an MPEG audio and video player that uses the SDL MPEG Player Library. It can play back MPEG audio (layer 1, 2 and 3), MPEG video (MPEG-1) and MPEG system (audio and video combined) files. MPEG-2 video files (as found on DVDs) are not supported. The video player works best on a 16 bit color depth X11 display, it works on other color depths with reduced speed as well. You'll need a CPU with 300 MHz or more to play back an MPEG system stream with 25 frames per seconds (fps) at full speed. OPTIONS
--help Show short usage information --noaudio Don't play the audio stream (if available) --novideo Don't play the video stream (if available) --fullscreen Play the MPEG video stream in fullscreen mode (this requires root privileges or a setuid plaympeg binary) -2, --double Play the MPEG video stream at double size -l, --loop Play the stream (audio or video) over and over again -v N, --volume N Set the volume of the audio stream to N% (N in the range of 0 to 100) -s S, --scale S Play the MPEG video stream at S size SEE ALSO
