Changes:
* Layout of the main window can be changed using Layout[123] options.
Switching between layouts is done using the 'l' key and now TAB is
used to switch between the playlist and the directory menu. For
example, you can configure the layout to see both the playlist and a
directory content.
* Support for WMA, RealAudio, MP4 and AAC file using FFmpeg.
* UTF-8 support.
* Selecting themes at runtime - T command (this does not change the
config file).
* Executing external commands, like 'cp %f /mnt/usb_drive' where %f is
substituted with the path to the currently selected file.
* Tags are cached at the server side and read in a separate thread.
The interface is not locked until the tags are read. Size of the
cache can be adjusted using TagsCacheSize. The cache is saved at exit
and loaded at startup.
* Moving items up and down: u and j commands.
* Workaround for encoding of ID3v1 tags. New options: UseRCC - to use
librcc for ID3v1 reencoding (Initial patch by Alexey Gladkov),
ID3v1TagsEncoding - assumed encoding for ID3v1 tags.
* Added UseCursorSelection option (default: no) to display cursor on
the selected file. This is useful with braille displays.
* Added SetXtermTitle option (disable/enable setting xterm title).
* Added m4a and aac to the list of extensions supported by ffmpeg.
* Pressing n when nothing is played starts playing from the first item
on the playlist.
* Added FollowPlayedFile option: menu follows the currently played file
so that it is scrolled if the file is outside the visible part
(default to yes).
* Numbering items in the playlist. Can be turned off using
PlaylistNumbering.
* New themes: moca_theme (Nicola Vitale), red_theme (yyz), and
darkdot_theme (David Lazar).
* Added a command for adding a URL to the playlist using entry (CTRL-u).
* A and --append can add files from playlists.
* Interface show the playlist after startup if something from the
playlist is played (CanStartInPlaylist option).
* Commands: --append, --clear, --play work now as expected even if there
is no client running.
* Use full paths instead of just file names for displaying on the
playlist.
* Internet streams can be paused.
* Ogg plugin name was changed to vorbis.
Schuller.
MOC (music on console) is a console audio player for LINUX/UNIX
designed to be powerful and easy to use. Noteworthy features
include:
* By default, files are decoded and played in a background
process. This allows the user to quit the interface (e.g.,
if one needs to close the xterm) without affecting
playback. It also allows attaching multiple interfaces
(e.g. in multiple xterms) to the same player.
* Playback should be smooth even under high cpu or I/O load,
due to the use of output buffering in a separate thread.
* There are no sound gaps in between files, because the next
file to be played is precached while playing the current
file.
Note: To avoid conflicts with Qt's 'moc', the moc binary is
called 'mocp'.
