[solved] command line music player

Hi,
i'm looking for a very simple command line music player like mpg123 but with a server option like mocp/mpd.
Other than mocp or mpd i want it for playing files on-the-fly. Like browsing around and playing files i see in the current directory, queueing them, maybe with a curses interface like ncmpc.
As far as i know, mpg123 can't queue and doesn't run in the background per default. mocp on the other hand comes very close but i don't think it can play files out of the current working directory like i want it.
Do you know a tool that fits my description?
Thanks in advance,
demian

fwiw, i have a script i call playnow which accepts a file path and plays it through mpd. i use it for one-off downloaded content or whatever. it just adds it to a temp folder, quickly updates the db, adds the temp folder to the current playlist (queuing) and plays it.
it's been working well for me. i also hear mpd accepts the file:/// uri scheme which kinda takes care of this usage case too.
As far as I know, MPD's database is updated automatically via inotify as soon as a file is added, so I think you don't even need to update before playing.
sounds great in theory, but i'm not so sure about in practice.
for inotify to pick up the new file(s) and mpd to update itself all between bash executing `ln -s` and `mpc add` would be... impressive. calling `mpc --wait update` manually means i only wait exactly as long as the update requires.
thanks for the advice though, maybe i'll test it out and see.

Is there a command line music player?

I simply want to play some music in my console

I'd suggest mp3blaster. Somaplayer is also good, and I'm thinking to write a PKGBUILD for the suite.
Another great thing is indeed mpd. Client-server architecture, easy to set-up and support for CLI, TUI and GUI. Furthermore, since every UI is client side, after you chose the playlist you can kill it without any problem, the music will go on, and opening another UI (local or remote) will take you to the current playlist... simply great

Command Line CD Player

Although VLC works fine on my computer, it seems wasteful just to play an audio CD. Can anyone recommend a command line CD player that will work with ALSA?

I'll also throw in a shameless plug for nccd, a curses based cd player I've written in perl. It can do cddb lookups if you are connected to the 'net. It is very simple to use, but does require you to install a couple of perl modules.
Audio::CD is available on the aur, but Curses::UI is not. I'll try to get it up there in the next day or so. All documentation is available on the website.

Any command line audio player with song rating and play count?

Is there any command line audio player that can handle song rating and play count? Thank you

I answer my question: mpd + mpdcron can store song rating and play count and much more to sqlite database.

I need a command line audio player to play ogg sound events

Hi I am new to the imac. I have a script that needs to play ogg sound events. So I need a command line callable audio player. Is there one for the imac?

Try PlaySound 1.6.6 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

[solved]Command line script to equalise volume levels of all mp3 files

Hello guys,
I have a bunch of mp3 files within a folder. Unfortunately they have unequal volume levels. Some of them are far too low, others too loud.
Is there a simple command line script to equalise all of them?
Regards
Robert

I remember I found such a script a long time ago. I suppose it still works, here it is http://codepad.org/MLu1iscD. Please tell me if it works for you. By the way, it depends on mp3gain and python2-eyed3.
ps: As far as I can see, this script doesn't change the mp3 files itself, but stores the new volume in the id3 tag. This means, that you won't corrupt your files in any way, but the player needs to be able to get the volume information and adjust it. The script measures both the album and the track gain. Which one is used can be configured in the player.

N95 Voice Comm. command for music player?

Under the voice Comm. - new application, how do I add the music player?

You can only add applications that are offered on the list, you cannot add it if it's not there.
So, hit options / new application and you'll see a list of all available programs.

[SOLVED] Command Line Clock

I remember seeing a forum topic a while back where someone posted a command to give a clock at the command line that would update every second and whatnot, but I can't seem to find the topic. IIRC, it was just `watch` and a command that actually rendered the current time (it wasn't `date`). I can't seem to find the command by searching through man pages, so hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about?

Woaah! That's perfect.
How can it be that this watch command slipped my attention in ten years of unix/linux use???
Thanks, scottish!

[SOLVED] Changing default music player

A very simple question, but I'm trying to make rhythmbox play my mp3 files instead of VLC. When I do open-with, it tells me I have to use sudo for it. But I'm not using the terminal for that, I'm using the lxde-compiz gui. I don't know the command
I opened some cache files and switched rhythmbox into the front of the list like another site I found said, but it didn't work. The openwith and change default worked great with my root account though xD
I really just don't know what terminal command it would be to change it.

Eventually found out by running around in Compiz settings, but installed that program as well. Seems very nice!
Thanks.

Command line mp3 player with equalizer support?

I would like to use CLI to play my mp3's, but MOC doesn't have a equalizer and that really hurts my ears. lol
Is there another program I should look at or is there a way to add equalizer functionality?

See if moc-svn is in AUR.

Yes, but u have to --forcever if u want the 2057 branch that the patch was written for. Thanks to snowman for that tip.
But, what I realized after reading the website http://moc.daper.net/node/310 is that developer branch 2061 has the patch for sound mixer already in it. So since makepkg forces newest svn version all u have to do is run makepkg or install with yaourt moc-svn and this functionality is all ready for use with the 'w' key.
Thanks for the link shaika

Command line wav file player

Are there any command line wav file players i can use? I use licq and would like to enable sounds. My sound card works fine as it's an es1371 and already picked up by the kernel.
I don't use oss or alsa.. so i'm hoping i can get a quick suggestion.

sinbsd wrote:Oh now there's a good way to welcome new Arch Linux users.. let's ridicule them. For starters, I am certainly not brain dead.. My soundcard is supported by the kernel.. therefore i have no need for installing alsa or oss as i already have sound... hence the request for info on where i could find a command line wav player. Not complicated now is it? How many people do you think use Arch Linux who are stupid?
I'm sorry, but I didn't read the whole message, just saw oss and alsa and a didn't. OSS/lite is part of the 2.4 kernel so if you have support for your card it is an oss/lite module loaded by the kernel. And an answer to your question: just one, me

Music player on N76

Hi everyone,
I just got a N76 and I can't seem to turn off the music player from running in the back ground, as it drains battery a lot, is there any way of turning off the music player from running in the background?
regards

It's me again.)))
The problem solved!
"The music player stays open by default so you can access it without having to flip open the phone. That, fortunately, doesn't slow down the use of other applications."
I read it here (in the very end).

Just out of interest, why the old KDE?
You may get more info if you start firefox from the command line and reproduce the crash.
