✨ NAME ✨

cplay-ng — simple curses audio player 🎵

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cplay-ng [OPTION]
cplay-ng [DIRECTORY]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so cplay-ng is a simple curses audio player with a textual user interface, and it's written in Python. no cap.

it aims to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist and playlist control. that's the whole dream. it's not trying to be a whole DAW, it's just here to play your tunes and let you boss around a file list. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -a — add to playlist. yes, adding things. queen of curation 💖
  • -s — recursive search. it goes deep, literally. 🔍
  • -BS — go to parent dir. back it up, back it up 🦋
  • -d, D — delete item/all. lowercase for one, uppercase for everything. choose wisely bestie 💀
  • -m, M — move item down/up. lowercase shuffles it down the list, uppercase yeets it up ⬆️⬇️
  • -r, R — toggle repeat/random. lowercase does repeat, uppercase does random 🎲
  • -s, S — shuffle/sort playlist. lowercase shuffles, uppercase sorts 🔥
  • -w — enter filename for current playlist. type the name, name the thing ✍️
  • -C — close current playlist. bye bye playlist 🫶
  • -@ — jump to current track. teleport straight to whatever's playing rn ⭐
ngl the trailing """ in the original is literally in the original. we don't make the rules, we just report them 💅
