I recall playing my mp3's from command line, I had a directory
full of mp3's, I took all the filenames and mput them in a
file called "playlist.lst" in the directory then ran the
following script I called "go"
--------------snip----------------
#!/bin/sh
#
mpg123 -v -v -Z -@ playlist.lst
--------------snip----------------
If I remember correctly I used one of the standard sound control
gui's to control the volume.
It's been a while.
I also used the "curl" program too, did a stupid little script
that killed artsd then went on to play the music in the current
directory.
Now, artsd was a problem for me at the time I was using this
script so it was the only thing that worked for me, YMMV. :)
--------------snip----------------
#!/bin/sh
#
echo
echo "Killing the damm \"artsd\" program first ....."
echo
for i in `ps -uwax|grep artsd|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`; do kill -9 $i; done
wait
echo "Well, that's done, now lets start up the music for you ....."
echo
/usr/local/bin/curl -s $1 | /usr/local/bin/mpg123 -
