[KLUG Members] Command line mp3 players

[Wesley Leonard]

Try it this way:

find /pathto/mp3s/ | mpg123 -@ -

The -@ sez play a file, and the - argument sez that STDIN will be the file and
since we're piping the STOUT of the find command into STDIN of the mpg123
command that's what it plays!

Or:

find /pathto/mp3s/ | mpg123 -z@ -

for random playback.

You can also try this:

find /pathto/mp3s/ > playlist.file
mpg123 -@ playlist.file

This creates a playlist file and then use the -@ option to mpg123 to play it. 
Spaces and other special chars will work this way...
