Any other CLI Music players?

[brunovecchi]

I use pyTone, does what I want and doesn't get in the way.

i just switched from cplay to cmus (for reasons that have nothing to do with either). cplay is great and so far, cmus looks great, as well. used to use mpd+ncmpc. it was great, too. i just found the initial configuration mysteries intensely annoying. never could figure out mp3blaster.

I use CMUS religiously for my music playing, fast and snappy. But I was wondering if anyone else used a CLI music player, and if you use it for everyday use and how highly you would recommend it to someone.

I used mpd + mpc on fluxbox.

It was great.

mpd + ncmpcpp

This is also what I use to listen to music. Luckily it was in the Arch Users' Repository, so compiling it was easy.

Same here, I use Arch.

How did you get that to compile?

As far as I can remember, mpd is in the ubuntu repositories. To compile ncmpcpp, I suggest you take a look at http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/download.php#others

1 vote for mpd + ncmpc + mpdscribble (Last.fm plugin for MPD) (the C version, not ncmpcpp). After setting it all up (including some shiny cron jobs to update the database every hour) it is working brilliantly.

Really, really dumb question, but how do you launch it?
EDIT: That was so dumb. It's ocp

nah, when someone mentions moc they should always mention that the binary is mocp...
