cplay - a front-end for various audio players SYNOPSIS
cplay [-options] [ file | dir | playlist ] ... DESCRIPTION
cplay is a front-end for various audio players. It aims to provide a user-friendly interface with simple filelist and playlist control. Invoking cplay without any options puts you in the filelist in which you can navigate around looking for audio files. When you specify an audio file, cplay automatically adds it to the playlist which can be accessed by pressing the tabulator key. Use 'h' to display the help window. Shell command-lines are executed with tagged or current entries as positional parameters, which means that "$@" might be useful. Currently, the following audio formats are supported: MP3 (through mpg321, splay, mpg123 or madplay), Ogg Vorbis (through ogg123), and var- ious module-formats (through mikmod and xmp). OPTIONS
-n Enable restricted mode -r Toggles playlist repeat mode -R Toggles playlist random mode -v Toggles PCM and MASTER (default) volume control SEE ALSO
ogg123(1), mpg123(1), mpg321(1), splay(1), madplay(1), mikmod(1), xmp(1), play(1), speexdec(1) FILES
/var/tmp/cplay_control - Optional remote control fifo. /etc/cplayrc - Optional configuration file. ~/.cplayrc - Optional configuration file. AUTHOR

cmus-remote - control cmus SYNOPSIS
cmus-remote [OPTION]... [FILE|DIR|PLAYLIST]... cmus-remote -C COMMAND... cmus-remote DESCRIPTION
Add FILE/DIR/PLAYLIST to playlist, library (-l) or play queue (-q). If no arguments are given cmus-remote reads raw commands from stdin (one command per line). Raw commands are cmus' command mode commands. These same commands are used in configuration files and key bindings. cmus(1) contains full list of commands. For consistency also searching is supported: -C /text. When -C is given all command line arguments are treated as raw commands. OPTIONS

See vol command in cmus(1). -k, --seek SEEK Seek. See seek command in cmus(1). -Q Get player status information. Same as -C status. Note that status is a special command only available to cmus-remote. -l, --library Modify library instead of playlist. -P, --playlist Modify playlist (default). -q, --queue Modify play queue instead of playlist. -c, --clear Clear playlist, library (-l) or play queue (-q). -C, --raw Treat arguments (instead of stdin) as raw commands.
