Introduction to mp3 playing programs in Linux

Article title: Introduction to mp3 playing programs in Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
Abstract: In windows, we all know that if you want to play mp3, you can use winamp, jetaudio, and other software. In linux, if I want to listen to mp3, what software can I use? Now, let me introduce it to you one by one.
　　
In windows, we all know that if you want to play mp3, you can use winamp, jetaudio, and other software. In linux, if I want to listen to mp3, what software can I use? Now, let me introduce it to you one by one.
　　
First, let's take a look at the useful mp3 playing software under the console.
　　
Mpg123
　　
This is an instruction for playing mp3. Many mp3 playing software on the window interface uses this program to play mp3. Below are some of its basic parameters:
　　
-B size: Set the buffer size.
-K num: skipped the first num frame.
-A device: set the sound device used.
Default value:/dev/audio or/dev/dsp.
-@ File: reads the mp3 file name list to be played from the file.
-Z: random playback
　　
If you want to simply play one or two songs or play a song in the entire directory, using mpg123 is a good choice, for complex functions such as selecting a specific mp3 file in multiple directories, it may be appropriate to write a script for execution.
　　
Mp3blster
　　
Although mp3blster is also an mp3 playing program executed on the console, its functions are not inferior to those of the playing program on the window interface. During installation, if you are using libc5, you must first install the pthread library for smooth compile. If you think this seems a little troublesome, you can directly capture the static link binary file on the author's webpage to come back for installation.
　　
After the program is executed, an image is displayed. There are some function keys and status descriptions on the left, while the list of songs to be played on the right of the screen. Now let's implement how to select and play songs. First, press F1 or 1, and the screen will become:
　　
Now, we can use the right side to select the mp3 directory, as shown in. all my mp3 files are placed in the/wind/mp3/directory.
　　
Now we can use F1 or 1 to select an individual file, or F3 or 3 to select an mp3 file in the entire directory. After the selection, the screen will jump back to the original activated image, such:
　　
Again, you only need to press Enter to start listening to songs. if you want to have some other options, such as playing a random song, you can press F8 or 8 to activate it. During playback, the screen displays the name, length, volume, and other information of the currently played song. With the use of the direction keys and number keys, you can easily adjust the volume, and change or play a song.
　　
After using windows, it may be very painful to remember a bunch of commands. now let's take a look at some useful window interfaces for mp3 players.
　　
Gqmpeg
　　
This is the front-end program of mpg123, so that users do not have to remember the usage of a bunch of parameters for playing mp3. The installation method is simple. if Redhat is used, you can directly capture i386.rpm and use the following command:
　　
Rpm-Uvh gqmpeg-xxx.xx.-i386.rpm
　　
If slackware is used, capture the. tgz file and follow
　　
./Configure
Make
Make install
　　
The standard steps should also be easy. However, since gqmpeg was developed using gtk library, you must install the library on your computer first. After the installation is complete, the following figure is displayed when gqmpeg is executed:
　　
At first glance, the picture seems a little ugly. However, from the information displayed on the panel, it is not difficult to see that gqmpeg is powerful! Press playlist in the lower-right corner to jump out of the song selection window:
　　
It is convenient to select the entire directory or to select individual songs. You can also right-click an mp3 file and listen to the file quickly. In addition, there are two small buttons on the top of playlist, one is the call of the volume adjustment program, and the other is the setting screen of gqmpeg:
　　
Here, there are flexible configuration options, such as the default playlist at the beginning of the program, the size of the player window, and the output format. One of the most important items is skin replacement. This allows users to replace the program with different skins (which must be downloaded from the author's website first). below are several cool skins:
　　
X11amp
　　
This is an mp3 player, similar to winamp in windows. Almost all winamp functions are included, such as audio wave presentation, Equalizer usage, skin switching, and plugin support.
