Playing MP3 and OGG files from the command line
Posted by Sayamindu 4 years, 4 months ago
I normally use mpg123 or ogg123 to play my music files - running GUI apps to continuously play songs is kind of an overkill. However, one of my gripes about commandline playback was I could not perform stuff like seek, pause, etc properly. Today, I switched to mplayer - and I can do all the fancy stuff simply by using my keyboard - the arrow keys for seeking, ‘m’ for mute, ’space’ for pause, ‘>’ and ‘<’ for navigating the playlist. Quite cool…
