audtty - Control Audacious from the command line with a friendly
ncurses interface
audtty [<-|+>ahlntV] [
options ]
audtty is a simple application for controlling Audacious from the
command line. It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and easy to
do. It is operated using arrow keys and standard Audacious keys, to make it
easy and intuitive to learn.
To negate a short option, use '+' instead of '-'
(e.g. +a).
Long-options are negated with no-, (e.g. --no-read-all).
- The keys for basic control
are as follows:
- +-----------------------+
| << > || o >> |
+-----------------------+
z x c v b
- -a, --read-all
- Read all titles and lengths on startup (EXTREMELY SLOW) (default
off).
- -h, --help
- Print help message.
- -l, --length
- Show length of track in playlist (SLOW) (default on).
- -n, --numbers
- Show numbers in playlist (default on).
- -t, --title
- Read the title from ID3/ogg-tags (SLOW) (default on).
- -V, --version
- Display version information.

- /etc/audtty.conf

- Local configuration file, specific for each user. Can be used to override
the global options.
The syntax of the configuration files are long options without the
'--', one on each line.

- numbers
title
length no-read-all
The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of
detecting changes in the playlist, and therefore audtty might need to
be told to reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by pressing
L. If the length of the playlist changes, audtty will assume
the playlist has changed and reload the entire playlist to make sure it is
correct.
Probably lots more.
