mad123 is a simple command line MP3 player using Robert Leslie's
|
|
libmad fixed-point MP3 decoder library.
|
|
|
|
This is not meant to be a serious replacement for the ubiquitous
|
|
mpg123 program. Instead, this is a merely an experiment in using
|
|
libmad. At the time mad123 was written, a couple of things set it
|
|
apart from the command line MP3 player supplied with libmad (madplay):
|
|
|
|
1) Supports URL style MP3 pathnames.
|
|
|
|
2) The audio output is double-buffered. Multiple audio backends
|
|
such as Sun (OSS), aRts, and pcm are supported.
|
|
|
|
3) Streams can be pre-buffered using read-ahead.
|
|
|
|
4) Simple keyboard controls.
|
|
|
|
5) Playlist support.
|
|
|
|
6) CTRL-C behaves like it does for mpg123.
|
|
|
|
7) It can be installed setuid-root so it can adjust scheduling
|
|
priority to reduce its susceptiblity to jitter.
