Free mp3 player software for linux

Blind MP3 plays audio files using an AUI (Audible User Interface). Speech synthesis announces where in the filesystem a user is, and controls are used to browse the filesystem and select files to play. It is ideal for people who want an MP3 player and dont want to have to look at it.

In essence, BMP3 is an AUI (Audible User Interface) for playing audio files. It supports selecting single files or directories for playing with an audio file player. Navigation is controlled by keys commonly found on a NumPad and feedback is given by the program using speech synthesis programs such as rsynth or festival. To support real-time operation, if festival is installed all the names of files in the song directory are cached each time BMP3 is started.

Jinamp is primarily a music shuffler for command line junkies. Jinamp runs in the background and does not require X or even a terminal.
A control program allows limited control over the playing (pause, next song, etc., but no seeking).
The actual playing is done by other programs, so it can be adapted for other purposes, such as shuffling video clips for advertising.
Enhancements:
- The control tools have been improved, in particular making once-off song requests possible.

Mp3blaster is an mp3 player for computers running a UNIX-like operating system, e.g. Linux, Free/Net/OpenBSD, etc. mp3blasters interface is entirely text based, thereby eliminating the need for a graphical environment like X-Windows.
This does not limit the way you can control the player whilst playing though; just like any graphical mp3 player, there are cd-style buttons like play, stop, pause, next track, etc.
While hardly anyone had ever heard of mp3 back in early 1997, I began to build up my own mp3 collection. As a Linux (text console) adept, I was heavily frustrated by the lack of a decent mp3 player. There was a (at the time) very popular command-line based mp3 player though, called splay. I figured I could use its mpeg decoding library and write my own interface in ncurses to control it. The plan was there!
Thinking about how to implement this interface, I also wondered why all mp3players had such plain playlist functionality! I like the ability to chuck a bunch of CDs in a multi-CD cd player, and then play the CDs in random order. In such a way that the cd player selects one of the five CDs at random, and then plays the entire disc. This continues, until all discs have been played. No mp3 player could do this, so I decided to add it to mine.
Enhancements:
- A parallel build bug was fixed. make -j now works.
- Dynamic screen resizing was implemented.
- A race condition that caused 100% CPU consumption at the end of each song was fixed.

Music player for mp3, ogg, wav, audiocd, mp3 streaming, ogg streaming.

Its fast, comfortable and able to use the appropriate sound drivers or daemons to male music, to encode in mp3 or ogg,and to stream directly to an icecast server (icecast2 or shoutcast).

somaplayer is even a sound daemon (sds- soma daemon sound), which is able to accept connections from more somaplayers at the same time or from any other sound player (xmms, mpg123 and others, thanks to a special wrapper.

All those sources are added and managed via driver or daemon, streammed or encoded as above.

MP3::Player::PktConcert is a Perl OO wrapper to John Seagulls C API to the Intel Pocket Concert.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Player::PktConcert;
my $pocket_concert = new MP3::Player::PktConcert;
my $proc_port = $pocket_concert->mount();
$pocket_concert->open();
my @tracks = $pocket_concert->tracks();
foreach my $track (@tracks) {
printf "%4d %-40s %9dn", $track->id(), $track->name(), $track->size();
}
my ($free,$total) = $pocket_concert->usage();
printf( "%d bytes free out of %d bytes totaln", $free, $total );
$pocket_concert->close();

MP3::Player::PktConcert is a Perl wrapper to John Seagulls C API to the Intel PocketConcert MP3 Player.

LongPlayer extends the functionality of a traditional MP3 player and is meant for people with a large MP3 or Ogg Vorbis collection who want to listen to it all day. LongPlayer chooses from dynamically generated collections of music to fill the MP3 players playlist.
It does this in a more advanced way than a traditional player, taking into account the rating of the song and the time that has passed since the song was last listened to. The GUI allows you to view, rate, replay, and delete songs previously listened to. It works with XMMS, WinAmp, and iTunes.
Enhancements:
- fixed crashes when there are no playlists

Open Cubic Player is a music player which can play a wide variety of music formats. Currently it can play so called modules (MOD, XM, S3M, IT), MIDI, MP1-3, SID tunes, and CD audio.
Open Cubic Player supports many soundcards (SB, GUS, EWS, WSS, PAS, and many more). It features many different display modes for "looking" (text and graphics) at the music.
Enhancements:
- Mac OS X CoreAudio is now supported (which requires the CoreAudio SDK).
- MP3 detection is now working again.
- Some compiler warnings and various crash bugs have been eliminated.
