Description: play is a curses front-end for various audio players, based on cplay. 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. Play can use 'id3-py' or 'pyid3lib' for MP3 tags, and 'pyvorbis' for OGG tags. A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will have to be local. For mpeg streaming use splay or mplayer. 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. MPlayer support was added to play from the excellent work done by Tom Adams and Tomi Pievilainen on GitHub.com.
