Introduction to mpg123
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 2:56 pm
An underrated little program - everyone plays around with mocp or cmus, though mpg123 deserves a bit of attention, too.
Turn on the keyboard controls with the -C switch, and play a song from your hard drive:
Play a radio stream from URL and set the buffer to 3000 Kb
What probably nobody knows: mpg123 has an equalizer. Well, not a clicky-pointy one. It reads from an equalizer file, let's call this one ~/rock.eq
Now you play your song with the EQ using the -E flag
For more EQ's, let's open a separate thread (anyway nobody gives a fuck)
Some frontends:
playmp3 - lists all music files (that contain STRING if given as option)

mp3player - simple frontend for playmp3 using dialog
Ok, now go back to mocp... :p
Turn on the keyboard controls with the -C switch, and play a song from your hard drive:
