playmp3list - curses frontend for mpg123

[machinebacon]

MOC shall die. It depends on a bunch of libraries and de/encoders to actually work, while mpg123 plays the requested file without a hitch.

1) remove moc :)

2) 32bit:

Code: Select all

wget http://vesta.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/Linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/playmp3list/playmp3list_0.95-5_i386.deb

64bit:

Code: Select all

wget http://vesta.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/Linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/playmp3list/playmp3list_0.95-5_amd64.deb

3)

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i playlistmp3*

4)

Code: Select all

playmp3list -p /path/to/music

Nice find! (and thanks for the sources)

Very nice, good find!

does it work with (the superior) mpg321 though?

[machinebacon]

rho, stanislaus was really right: I noticed a lower CPU load with mpg321 (no kidding!), around 1/5th of mpg123.

In other words: Yes, it does work :)

[rhowaldt]

^ good, that makes me happy :)
