Select the Console Audio Player.

Hello,
I've recently been using UNIX, but already used to working in the console. (Although the GUI I also have). Like many others, at times during the work I love listening to music.

For this I use audio/moc. I run mocp directory with the music - and rushed.
This is a very good player. But I'm from Ukraine, and the files often has Ukrainian or Russian name.
mocp can not display file names (although they play). Second time as misc/mc displays the names of the files - which suggests that the console is configured.

What console audio player do you use? (can they fit me :r).

multimedia/playd a very interesting player. Unlike the audio/moc is not use terminal. Bomb! I like it. Although not yet understood how to adjust the sound.

It however does have some know bugs, that I haven't yet been able to figure you how to fix (actually I've no idea where they come from). But overall for me it works great

Looks interesting. I tried it, but had a few issues.

Sometimes I'm lazy and don't rename files with spaces in the name. If I do % mplayer "some file with space in name" it plays fine, but % playd "same file with space in the name" gives no error, but doesn't play.

I tried one of the examples in the man page:
% playd [url]http://www.radioskonto.lv/online_radio/stereo.m3u[/url]
Code:
WARN: File doesn't exist:
WARN: http://www.radioskonto.lv/online_radio/stereo.m3u
It was the same with double quotes around the URL as well. This also works using multimedia/mplayer directly.
 
Sometimes you need to add "playlist" command...
(sometimes playd doesn't start playing automatically. Need to find out why and where)
