When we friends were discussing about mp3 players like winamp, windows media player he shocked all of us by telling he used/uses mpg123 from command line to play his mp3 songs
Do you wish to play mp3 from command line like him? Read further if you have ubuntu or fedora( if you are an Arch user, you are most probably a geek and most probably a linux guru and I won't be teaching you how to do "sudo pacman -S mpg123" from command line)
So, to install this commandline mp3 player in Ubuntu
sudo aptitude install mpg123
If you have Fedora, then in Fedora commandline (remove sudo from command, if you are a super user)
sudo yum install mpg321
To play a single mp3 song from command line
mpg123 <your mp3 file >
To play multiple mp3 songs
mpg123 *.mp3
or
mpg123 <mp3 1> <mp3 2> ...
To play a mp3 URL
mpg123 <url of the mp3 >
To know more about mpg123, use man mpg123 from commandline
you could also easily create playlist files and play them all in shuffle or random mode...which is what I did often.
ReplyDeleteJust a list of filenames, path\filenames creates the playlist. Sample below:
ls *.mp3 > playlist1
To play the playlist:
mpg123 --list playlist1
To shuffle songs in the playlist, use -z and to play songs forever picking randomly, use -Z
It is great idea for programming lovers and I am thinking that how I can not think about it because I love to listen music and also like programming very much.
ReplyDeletecheap mp3 player
the rhythmbox-client also affords the opportunity to play from commandline. add those commands as aliases to your .bashrc file and you'll have a pretty neat-o experience.
