Anybody knows any ncurses-based mp3 players?? If yes, please tell me what I should emerge. I couldn't find anything by my own....

I use it myself sometimes, it's pretty neat.
It's not in portage (yet) however.

Have fun.

mp3blaster is also a nice ncurses based player.
But i don't now if there's an ebuild for it. If not, you can download it at:

Here's another vote for mp3blaster.

I volunteer for a local amateur baseball team and they needed a computer to play mp3s. I built them a redhat (shhh!) 7.3 box without X and tried to strip out lots of extras. I use mp3blaster to play the mp3/ogg/wav files and it works like a champ. All on a pentium 200 with 32mb RAM. Can't beat that.

Although the problem is mp3blaster has a little learning curve, and no one but me has had to opportunity to work with it. Everyone else are non-techie windows/winamp people. So I'm the only one who can do music. Although that's not SO bad because then I dictate the music. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've used mp3blaster with other distros, but only in Gentoo do I have function keys that don't work in terminals when in X.
Why is that?
I also use debian with WindowMaker and have no problems with the default setup when using either gnome-terminal, konsole, eterm or xterm.
Is there a setting I should change so I can have functioning function keys in a terminal in X?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. Function keys wouldn't do anything. I just went to XMMS. It would be nice to know how to fix that.

Yeah I noticed the F key problems as well. Like I said, my ghetto-blaster is a redhat 7.3 box not running X, so I don't have it. But when I was testing on my gentoo box at work I couldn't use F1. :p

There is an alternate config file (there are 2 sample config files for mp3blaster) one can use for this... but I like the Fx keys. So inthe meantime, I use the alternate config file, but if someone has a way to "fix" this, I would really appreciate it.
