It aims to provide a power-user-friendly interface with + simple filelist and playlist control. play is written in + Python and can use either pyncurses or the standard curses + module. + +Usage: + + play [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist | url ] ... + + When in doubt, press 'h' for a friendly help page. + +Miscellaneous: + + In order for either mp3info (ID3) or ogginfo to work, both + corresponding python modules have to be installed. However, + quick support for MP3 tags can be added by getting 'ID3.py' + from the id3-py project: http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/ + + A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will have + to be local. For mpeg streaming, splay is recommended. + + It is also possible to pipe a playlist to play, as stdin will + be reopened on startup unless it is attached to a tty. + + Remote control is available through /tmp/play-control-$USER. + +Authors: + + play is being maintained by Adrian C. After waiting over 2 + years for cplay's home, and code, to resurface it was finally + forked. This exceptional software, originally written by Ulf + Betlehem, should not be forgotten. |
