Guide to CMus - Music Player for Your Terminal
Submitted by Chris7mas on Monday 31st of January 2011 09:54:29 PM Filed under

Although CMus is not the only good player for the shell (alternatives like MOC, Herrie or mp3blaster are also available), I prefer it due to its unique keyboard shortcuts and feature completeness.
