NAME
music123 - plays various sound files (usually including MP3, Ogg and
Wav).
SYNOPSIS
music123 [ -hqrvz ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
music123 is a shell around various command line programs to play music
files. It will descend directories trees with -r, and randomize file
lists with -z. The programs used and the options given them are listed
in /etc/music123rc or ~/.music123rc.
OPTIONS
-h Show command help and exit;
-q Quiet mode. No messages are displayed.
-r Recurse into directories, instead of ignoring them.
-v Display version information and exit.
-z Play files in random order.
-Z Play the files randomly and endlessly.
-l Loop. -z -l differs from -Z in that -z -l will randomize, play
through the song list (without repetition) in random order once,
and repeat the songs in that order over and over; -Z will
randomly play the songs, without any order, and will possibly
play a song right after itself.
-D Set music123 not to delay between songs. (May make music123
harder to kill).
-d Customize the time music123 delays between songs. -d takes one
argument, expressed in seconds, which may have a fractional
part.
-@ Play the files listed in the mandatory argument of -@. Other
files can be added on the command line, and this option can be
given several times. Note that music123 doesn’t yet play URLs.
-- End option list.
EXAMPLES
Play three songs:
music123 test1.ogg test2.mp3 test3.wav
Play a couple of directories and other songs at random:
music123 -z -r Rock/ test1.ogg Pop/ test4.wav
