NAME¶
mpc123 - your handy Musepack audio player
SYNOPSIS¶
mpc123 [options] file(s)
DESCRIPTION¶
mpc123 is a command-line player for the Musepack audio compression format.
mpc123 reads mpc audio files and decodes them to the devices specified on the
command line.
During playback, you can pass to the next playlist element (or a random one if
one of the -z and -Z options were used, see below) by sending SIGINT to the
process, thus usually pressing ^C will act as a "next-button" for
the player.
OPTIONS¶
- --gain N, -g N
- Set gain (audio volume) to N (0-100 inclusive,
default 100, 0 mutes sound)
- -o driver
- Set output devicetype to driver; possible drivers
include:
- oss
- Linux Open Sound System
- alsa
- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
- alsa09
- ALSA version 0.9 and newer (you should really be using
this)
- esd
- Enlightenment sound daemon
- arts
- Analog Real Time System (kde sound daemon)
- null
- Debugging output target
- --audiodevice dev, -a dev
- Use dev for audio-out; If not specified, the program
tries to pick some sane defaults, based on the used audio output driver.
Common devices include:
- /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp1
- for oss output
- default or hw:0
- for alsa09 output
- --au filename.au, -u filename.au
- Use au file filename.au for output
- --cdr filename.cdr, -c filename.cdr
- Use raw file filename.cdr for output (this can be
used directly with cdrecord's -audio option)
- --wav filename.wav, -w filename.wav
- Use wave file filename.wav for output
- --list file, -@ file
- Use playlist file as list of Musepack files; The
playlist format is simple: one file per line. You can easily generate a
playlist for mpc123 with the find(1) command:
- find /path/to/musicroot -iname \*.mpc -fprint
file
-
- --random, -Z
- Play files randomly until interrupted
- --shuffle, -z
- Shuffle list of files before playing
- --verbose, -v
- Increase verbosity (default verbosity is 0), the more -v,
the more verbose mpc123 becomes
- --quiet, -q
- Reset verbosity to 0 (no title or boilerplate); this is the
default
- --help, -h
- Print the help screen, with some brief usage information
