Simple, Fast, and Geeky Console-based Audio Players for Linux
To those of you who are new to Linux, you may not know that you can use the shell terminal to do some fun stuff like play games, watch Star Wars, and even browse the web. You can even blast your favorite music with it, which I will be showing you how.
For now, get rid of that hefty music players with graphical user interface (GUI) and try these simple, fast, and rather geeky console-based audio players:
Music on Console
Music on Console (simply known as MOC) is perhaps the most popular ncurses-based console audio player for Linux. It is very easy to use and it is highly configurable. If you are familiar with Midnight Commander file manager then you will have no problem using MOC since their command structure and window layouts are the same.
MOC supports various file formats such as MP3, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, WAVE, SPEEX, Musepack (MPC), AIFF, AU, WMA, and other less popular formats supported by libsndfile. Support for new formats are currently under development.
Other features of MOC include: simple mixer, customizable color schemes, interface layouts, key bindings, tag parsing, and ALSA, OSS or JACK output support.
