Description-en: command-line based shuffle music player that remembers songs between sessions
Randomplay plays your music collection (or execute any arbitrary commands on
any arbitrary filetypes) in random order, remembering songs played across
sessions. It also has many features to make command-line music playing more
convenient, including recursive regexp searching for tracks and the ability to
specify a certain number of tracks, bytes, or minutes to play. Randomplay
will also generate a list of music files to be loaded onto a portable music
player device. It includes a 'random weighting' feature, so your favorite
songs are more likely to come up in the random shuffle.
.
Randomplay is a convenient tool for the user who does everything in an xterm
window or console and is constantly devising complex find/grep/sed command
lines to play just the right set of songs.
