mpg321 -- Free clone of mpg123, a command-line mp3 player
SYNOPSIS
mpg321 [options] file(s) | URL(s) | -
DESCRIPTION
mpg321 is a free command-line mp3 player, which uses the
mad audio decoding library. mpg321 is written to be a
drop-in replacement for the non-free mpg123 player. Some
functions remain unimplemented, but mpg321 should function
as a basic drop-in replacement for mpg123 frontends such
as gqmpeg, and those programs which use mpg123 to decode
mp3 files (like gtoaster, and other CD-recording soft
ware).
OPTIONS
-o devicetype
Set the output device type to devicetype: cur
rently either esd or alsa, for the Enlightend
Sound Daemon or ALSA. See -a device, below.
-a device, --audiodevice device
Use device for audio-out instead of the default
device, depending on the output device you've
chosen (via -o device). By default this is the
native sound device. For -o esd, specify the
host; defaults to localhost. For -o alsa, spec
ify card:device; defaults to 0:0.
-g N, --gain N
Set gain (volume) to N (1-100).
-k N, --skip N
Skip N frames into the file being played.
-@ list, --list list
Use the file list for a playlist. The list
should be in a format of filenames followed by a
linefeed. Unlike mpg123, multiple -@ or --list
commands can be specified; each file will be
concatenated with the files specified on the
command-line to produce one master playlist.
-z, --shuffle
Shuffle playlists and files specified on the
command-line. Produces a randomly-sorted
playlist which is then played through once.
-Z, --random
Randomize playlists and files specified on the
command-line. Files are played through, choosing
at random; this means that random files will be
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose. Show current byte, bytes
remaining, time, and time remaining, as well as
more information about the mp3 file.
-s, --stdout
Use stdout instead of an audio device.
-w N, --wav N
Write to wav file N instead of using the audio
device.
-t, --test
Test mode; do no output at all.
-q, --quiet
Quiet mode; suppress output of mpg123 boiler
plate and file and song name.
--help, --longhelp
Show summary of options.
-V, --version
Show version of program.
