Interactive keyboard control? #12

Open alexmyczko opened 5 years ago

alexmyczko commented 5 years ago

I really miss that, when playing 3000 songs, it's not fun to press ctrl-c and run adplay again:

https://github.com/alexmyczko/modplug-tools has a readme with some nice interactive keyboard control (at the bottom), would it be possible to implement that into adplug? Or should i link against adplug and support adplug formats with modplug123?

AdPlay is only really designed as a testing tool, it's not really suited to playing large numbers of files. Is there any reason why you don't want to use a proper media player? I use XMMS2 myself which happily manages a playlist of thousands of Adlib files (as well as ModPlug ones), and there are console clients available for it if you don't want to run a GUI. There are others too - many of them link with AdPlug already.

on unix-like the only one that comes to mind is opencubicplayer. and the one you ship (non-gui, cli only)

XMMS2 will run on BSD, Solaris, OSX and Linux and has both GUI and CLI clients, so it might meet your criteria (although it sounds like you're using a GUI given your other suggestion of a .desktop file?) Audacious is another one that supports AdPlug well under Linux, but it's GUI only.
