mp3 player
Im looking for suggestions for a mp3 player. This player needs to be run competely from the command line, have a good mixer, and have some good visuals. This player can display to X, but can't be controlled from it (its going to be running on a system with no mouse).
Any suggestions? I have a few ideas, but wanted to get some input first. Thanks |
mpg123 or mpg321, perhaps?

Bzzzzzst. Wrong answer I'm afraid.
Greg21 wants a more sophisticated player than mpg123/mpg321. Although it does not do visuals (how do you expect it to do visuals, if you are not running X? -- it would need to be either an SVGAlib, a directfb, SDL, or maybe ggi program which I fear nobody has bothered to write yet), the program which will do most of what you want is mp3blaster. http://www.stack.NL/~brama/mp3blaste...html?page=news And it supports OGG vorbis files, which are what you should be using. Either download the source from the above site and compile and install it yourself, or search for a prebuild rpm for your Distribution at http://rpm.pbone.NET For eye candy visuals you need to use something such as http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/Synaesthesia which has support for SDL and SVGAlib, so running it on an machine without an XServer is possible. Do not forget that all of this compressed music decoding + visuals is quite CPU intensive. |
BTW Greg said that he already had a few things in mind.
Does that means if we correctly suggest the same thing that he had in mind, we win a prize? :+) Or if we do not come close, our suggestions are just ignored? :+( |
No prize :)
I am going to run an X server, just can't use it for input. Its for display and visuals only. |
