xmms-curses is a simple application for controlling XMMS from the command line. It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and easy to do.
xmms-curses is operated using arrow keys and standard XMMS keys, to make it easy and intuitive to learn.
Requirements:
XMMS
ncurses
make
gcc
xmms-dev
ncurses-dev
Installation:
I have unfortionately not had the time to make a reasonable autoconf setup. Since people kept nagging me to release something for them, I released it anyway. Just running make might, and might not, do the trick for you. Afterwards, just run make install to copy the binary to /usr/local/bin and the manpage to /usr/local/man/man1, or copy the files manually to some other nice places.
Or, if using Debian, just run dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot, and install the package you get in ../ using dpkg -i < filename >
Options:
To negate a short option, use '+' instead of '-' (e.g. +a)
Long-options are negated with 'no-', (e.g. --no-read-all)
-n, --numbers Show numbers in playlist (default on)
-t, --title Read the title from ID3/ogg-tags (SLOW) (default on)
-l, --length Show length of track in playlist (SLOW) (default on)
-a, --read-all Read all titles and lengths on startup (EXTREMELY SLOW)
(default off)
-V, --version Display version information
-h, --help Print help message
