NAME

       splay - MPEG-1,2 Audio layer 1,2,3 file player

SYNOPSIS

       splay [-2VMfmrsv] [-k num] [-d dev] [-l list] [-t num] filenames...

DESCRIPTION

       Splay  is  the sound file player such as MPEG-1,2 Audio files.  And you
       can play these files using list file.  With pthread, it can play  sound
       files smoother.

OPTIONS

       Splay has several options.

       -2     play  MPEG-Audio  files  with  half-frequency.   If you use this
              option, you may play MPEG audio files with  job  which  exhausts
              CPU very much.
       -f     display info on played and remaining frames and time.
       -m     force to mono.  Play with mono even if file is in stereo.
       -r     Repeat  forever.   If  you  -r  with -s, list files are shuffled
              every time.
       -s     Shuffle play. If you give list file or a number of files,  Splay
              will  rearrange  them randomly. And with -r every time the order
              of files is changed.
       -v[v[v]]
              Verbose, Very verbose, Very very verbose.
       -M     Play MPEG file from standard input.
       -V     Show version number.
       -t  num
              num of frames were saved during playing. When CPU is so busy and
              prevents  splay  from decoding, splay will play back using saved
              frames.  This  feature  lets  you  do  other  job  freely  while
              listening to MPEG music.
       -k  num
              num of frames are skipped at the start of playing.
       -d  dev
              Change  device  file.  Default  device file is /dev/dsp.  If you
              can’t use this device file or you can output raw  type  data  to
              file, you can use this option.  If the first character of dev is
              / , dev would  be  considered  as  device  file,  If  the  first
              character  of  dev  is  -  , dev would be considered as standard
              output, otherwise dev would be considered as normal file.
       -l  list
              Select   list   file.     http://    can    be    used.    (e.g.
              http://localhost/abc.m3u)
       filenames
              You can put several files, and use http:// If you use -l option,
              these will be ignored.
