Command line players?

Command line players?

[Steve Holmes]

I'm trying to find a command line midi player for linux.  I tried to use
mp from the adagio05 package; the binary plays total silence and when I
tried to compile the thing I got link time errors.  So that package is
proving useless right now.  Every other player I tried to find for midi
files was some kind of cute X windows thing.  Any ideas out there?

BTW, is there any way yet to run Realaudio without having to install X
windows?

Look on sunsite.unc.edu for playmidi.
I use playmidi to play midi-files on my Roland jv30.

If you use dosemu, you might get plany.exe to work for you.
If you haven't got it, I could send it.
mp.com is truly a piece of trash.  Not only did we have identical results
but mine happened on
opendos 7.02, but mp.com locked up my system and I had to power down to
regain control.

Group       : Applications                  Source RPM: playmidi-2.3-2.src.rpm

Yes.  It has been tackled already on this list.
I think you'll find it in the archive.

I looked there and saw a little guy called rap.??? I think that requires
the realaudio player from Progressive, doesn't it?  If it does, then you
have to have X installed on your machine.  Perhaps I'm missing a point
here.  Sory for repeating a gon-over subject, but I'm way behind on the
lists lately so could have missed the important news on this subject.

Whenever I try to run playmidi I get the error message "unable to open
/dev/sequencer"
I haven't tried any other midi players yet, but I need to find out how to
configure /dev/sequencer.

Not necessarily.  There is a program called xvfb
(x virtual frame buffer).  If they are using it, you don't need
a real X-server running.  If they're not using it, then you
can run it yourself.  There is an rpm package for it.

Hello K.C. Habib,

It seems that you have no device /dev/sequencer on your system.
Semply run /dev/MAKEDEV and you'll have it.

        Jos.
