What is mini-mp3-player?

Mini-mp3-player is a minimal, distracionless terminal mp3 player.

How do you use it?

First thing you have to do is compiling the source code. Mini-mp3-player is coded in C and uses SDL2 and Ncurses libreries.

The code and compilation has only been tested in a Ubuntu system, the followed step are:

apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev && make install
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage

Once the code has been compiled run:

sudo mini-mp3-player -c {path-to-music-collection}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command will create or refresh a collection file used by mini-mp3-player.
If you already have a collection, only run:

sudo mini-mp3-player
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Skip to next song pressing -n- or quit pressing -q-

It's a pretty neat mini player. I remember I've tried to make such one for myself, but couldn't do switching between audio tracks. Your option works fine. The overall usage reminds me of using the youtube-dl file. It's a utility used for downloading files from YouTube of native quality. Usually, I use it in pair with this mp3 converter convertr.org/mp3-converter. I'm curious whether it is possible to merge Youtube downloader with the audio player. I mean, you can create a library of native-quality tracks without the need for gui.
