  • 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
  • WM: Fn Volume Keys are not working
    To control playback of media players that support MPRIS you can use playerctl. For those that don't you'll have to check the documentation to find out whether or not they can be controlled via the commandline (and hence the keyboard) and what the commands are (e. g. Mocp [OPTIONS] in the case of MOC). Source: over 2 years ago
