Looking for an MP3 player that can run without X server
Hello,
I'm looking for a MP3 radio player via internet (ie. like Amarok, XMMS...) that does not need any X interface or window manager. The reason is I'm currently configuring a thin client diskless and fanless with low RAM to be used only as an internet radio. I would like to run it without X server to spare memory. The command line mode will be fair enough to load or swap the MP3 feeds. Thanks for your attention. Any ideas are welcome. Bye, Bruno |
There are tons of cli media players available. For simple uses mplayer works great. You may need to try out a few of the more dedicated players though if you need more advanced features like playlists. A few seconds on google popped up this article that mentions many of the popular ones. Not sure how many of them have stream playing ability though.

Try moc: http://moc.daper.net/

mpg321 is a great command line player I use all the time.

Hi,
Try mp3blaster,I use it all the time. or mpg321 (mpg123 clone). or even mplayer, you may just need to take a stroll through its man pages though (add the win32 codecs and you can play anything right on the CLI) J |
Consider mplayer: http://www.mplayerhq.hu - I think the most flex and power decision.
Especially, there are a few minimal distro based on: http://movix.sourceforge.net/, http://www.geexbox.org/ etc. Have a fun |
