console based mp3 players

console based mp3 players

[Deedra Waters]

I'm currently using mp3blaster to play mp3 files, but it's not really
speakup friendl.
I tried freeamp, but I'm having several problems trying to get it to do
what I want it to, and it doesn't have man pages that are of much use.
They assume that I can use xwindows, which I can not:p

Does anyone have suggestions as to an mp3 player that will let me move
threw songs, shuffle repeat, and load playlists?

I've got that. but it doesn't let me go from song to song, pause and stuff
like that, and that's what I want.

trplayer I like, but does not let me use playlists, which I also want, or
if it does, it doesn't show me how to.

Well, my personal suggestion for starters would be mpg123.

It probably is already on your system, it certainly comes bundled with
Slackware 8.0.  Although it cannot do all of what you want out of the box,
a search for mpg123 on freshmeat.net will unearth several packages which
will interact with it to add functionality.  Be warned, however, I have
found that mpg123 is very intollerent of broken mp3 headers, and you may
find that some files will stop halfway through, or not play at all, I
don't know why this should be, but there it is.  Out of the box, you can
shuffle a list of tracks no probs at all using the -z switch, and the
man-page is, imho, very extensive.

You can go to the next song by hitting ctrl-c, hitting it twice within a
second will stop all playback.  If you want to pause, just hit ctrl-z to
suspend the process, then fg to bring it back.

How about creating a .m3u file into which you could place the names (and paths if any) of the files you wish to play.

How are you getting freeamp to work? I got it half working another words
when I type freeamp it comes  up with the little thing that gives you the
controls, but it doesn't tell you how to work playlists, or load songs or
anything like that.

Hmmm, it works for me to, and I have that version, but there doesn't seem
to be any documentation covering it at all, either in the man page or in
/usr/doc/mpg123-0.59r.

I'd like to make it go to the previous song, but you don't seem to be able
to do that, and there's about 4 keys to do the same thing, i.e. return to
the start of the song.

Cheers.

Hi. The only problems that I have with mpg123 sometimes is that the file
won't decode properly, however it works with freeamp.
