  • Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
    On that note, moc (http://moc.daper.net/) is also pretty nice. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago
  • Any music player that uses the terminal and can show lyrics
    Music On Console has lyrics plugin, but I've never tried it. Source: 11 months ago
  • headless music player project?
    I really quite like MOC's terminal UI for playing music files, and I don't see why it shouldn't work with a network drive too (so long as the network drive is mounted in a "normal" way). Source: over 1 year ago
  • headless music player project?
    I have a pi connected to a hard drive and a pair of speakers (via 3.5mm). I then use MOC to play music via ssh (and I use juiceSSH on my phone if I want to control it from there). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Music / Radio / Podcasts
    I use moc (music on command line) for music: Http://moc.daper.net/ And mpv for internet radio streams. Source: about 2 years ago
