music123 - plays various sound files (usually including MP3, Ogg

music123 [-DhiLlqrvZz] [-d ARG] [-@
ARG] [--] files ...
music123 is a shell around various command line programs to
play music files. It will descend directories trees with -r, and randomize
file lists with -z. The programs used and the options given them are listed
in /etc/music123rc or ~/.music123rc.
- -D
- Equivalent to -d0. May make music123 harder to kill.
- -d
- Customize the time music123 delays between songs. -d takes one
argument, expressed in seconds, which may have a fractional part.
- -h
- Show command help and exit immediately.
- -i
- Ignore case of file path extensions. For example, .ogg and
.OGG are considered equivalent.
- -l
- Loop at the end of the playlist.
- -L
- List files and exit immediately.
- -q
- Quiet mode. No messages are displayed.
- -r
- Recurse into directories, instead of ignoring them.
- -T
- Redirect standard input, allowing q or Q keys to stop after
current file. The player will not see its standard output anymore.
- -v
- Display version information and exit immediately.
- -z
- Randomize the song list once before starting to play. music123 will
shuffle the list once and for all, then play the songs without repetition
(and repeat the selected order over and over with -l).
- -Z
- Pick up a song after the other randomly and endlessly, possibly playing a
given song twice in a row, or never playing a given song. This disables
-l and -z options.
- -@
- Play the files listed in the mandatory argument of -@. Other files can be
added on the command line, and this option can be given several times.
Note that music123 doesn't yet play URLs.
- --
- End option list. Following arguments are interpreted as file names, even
if they start with a dash.
