Features

Work on mplay was motivated by experience of other console based audio players.
Although mplay is a front-end to MPlayer, it extends its functions in several significant ways. It:

• keeps a browsable , sortable and searchable playlist
• provides an internal filebrowser to add files
• provides essential status information
• includes a progress bar
• remembers the position within the track last played before quitting
• shows ID3-info / tag and it is possible to edit ID3-tag
• gives user-friendly output through a colour scheme
• runs as single-instance (provides basic controlling from outside)
• provides basic mixer functions
• provides an own interactive shoutcast streambrowser
• interactive help (German/English) for control keys
• mouse support
• jump to track, jump to time-position(very useful for http-streams)
• plays various http-streams
