Description:

        cplay is a curses front-end for various audio players. It aims
        to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist
        and playlist control. cplay is written in Python and can use
        either pyncurses or the standard curses module.

Requirements:

        - cplay                 http://www.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/
        - python                http://www.python.org/
        - mpg321    (optional)  http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpg321/
        - ogg123    (optional)  http://www.vorbis.com/
        - mpg123    (optional)  http://www.mpg123.org/
        - splay     (optional)  http://splay.sourceforge.net/
        - madplay   (optional)  http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/
        - mikmod    (optional)  http://www.mikmod.org/
        - fintl     (optional)  http://www.python.org/sigs/i18n-sig/
        - pyncurses (optional)  http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net/
        - ID3-py    (optional)  http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/
        - pyvorbis  (optional)  http://www.duke.edu/~ahc4/pyogg/

Installation:

        make install

Usage:

        cplay [-rRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ...

        When in doubt, press 'h' for a friendly help page.

Miscellaneous:

        In order for either mp3info (ID3) or ogginfo to work,
        both corresponding python modules have to be installed.
        This will probably change someday.

        If you would like to change options passed to the actual
        players just edit the PLAYERS list in the cplay script.

        A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will
        have to be local. For mpeg streaming, splay is recommended.

        It is also possible to pipe a playlist to cplay, as stdin
        will be reopened on startup unless it is attached to a tty.

        Remote control via /var/tmp/cplay_control; see lircrc.
