Description:

    cplay is a curses front-end for various audio players. It aims
    to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist
    and playlist control. cplay is written in Python and can use
    either pyncurses or the standard curses module.

Installation:

    make install

Usage:

    cplay [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ...

    When in doubt, press 'h' for a friendly help page.

Configuration:

    If you would like to change options passed to the actual players
    just edit the PLAYERS list in the cplay script or put the PLAYERS
    definition in either ~/.cplayrc or /etc/cplayrc. If one of these
    files is available, it is executed by cplay before initialization.

    Note, currently there is no version control for the rc-file!

Miscellaneous:

    In order for either mp3info (ID3) or ogginfo to work,
    both corresponding python modules have to be installed.
    This will probably change someday.

    A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will
    have to be local. For mpeg streaming, splay is recommended.

    It is also possible to pipe a playlist to cplay, as stdin
    will be reopened on startup unless it is attached to a tty.

    Remote control via /tmp/cplay-control-$USER; see lircrc.
