ncurses-based audio player.
It has some interesting features such as a configurable
colour scheme, mp3 and ogg streaming. It can be controlled with
a UNIX socket, filters, album/artists sorting and a vi-like
configuration interface.
It also features background playlist loading and a metadata
cache make loading files
very fast, as well as playqueue, playlist filters and a directory
browser. Three
playlist views are available: artist/album/track, shuffle list, and
