mpc123

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

During playback, you can pass to the next playlist element (or a random one if one of the -z and -Z options were used, see below) by sending SIGINT to the process, thus usually pressing ^C will act as a "next-button" for the player.

OPTIONS

--gain N, -g N

Set gain (audio volume) to N (0-100 inclusive, deafult 100, 0 mutes sound)

-o driver

Set output devicetype to driver; possible drivers include:

oss

Linux Open Sound System

alsa

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

alsa09

ALSA version 0.9 and newer (you should really be using this)

esd

Enlightenment sound daemon

arts

Analog Real Time System (kde sound daemon)

null

Debugging output target

--audiodevice dev, -a dev

Use dev for audio-out; If not specified, the program tries to pick some sane defaults, based on the used audio output driver. Common devices include:

/dev/dsp or /dev/dsp1

for oss output

default or hw:0

for alsa09 output

--au filename.au, -u filename.au

Use au file filename.au for output

--cdr filename.cdr, -c filename.cdr

Use raw file filename.cdr for output (this can be used directly with cdrecord's -audio option)

--wav filename.wav, -w filename.wav

Use wave file filename.wav for output

--list file, -@ file

Use playlist file as list of Musepack files; The playlist format is simple: one file per line. You can easily generate a playlist for mpc123 with the find(1) command:

find /path/to/musicroot -iname \\*.mpc -fprint file

--random, -Z

Play files randomly until interrupted

--shuffle, -z

Shuffle list of files before playing

--verbose, -v

Increase verbosity (default verbosity is 0), the more -v, the more verbose mpc123 becomes

--quiet, -q

Reset verbosity to 0 (no title or boilerplate); this is the default

--help, -h

Print the help screen, with some brief usage information
