Music On Console Player or mocp for short is awesome piece of software for command line geeks. It is somewhat similar to Midnight Commander - on the left panel you can browse through your filesystem and on the right there is your current playlist.

Music On Console in action

To install on a Debian or Ubuntu box:

apt-get install moc moc-ffmpeg-plugin

Start it up with mocp command. Note that some Qt guys had another program called moc!:

mocp

For Estonian internet radios:

wget -c https://d.arti.ee/raadio.m3u
mocp raadio.m3u

Now the most important part - key bindings! Let's start with the global ones.

• q - Exit the user interface but keep player running in the background

• Q - Exit the whole program and stop any playing audio tracks

• R - Toggle repeating the playlist

• S - Toggle shuffling

• tab - Switch between panels

Now the keys you can use on the left panel for browsing the files:

• a - Add files/directories to the playlist

• A - Add playlist to current playlist

• Enter - Enter directory or add file

And finally the keys you can use on the playlist

• d - Remove track from playlist

• C - Clear the whole playlist

• Enter - Start playing a track

• Control-f - Toggle track format visibility

• Control-t - Toggle track duration visibility

Note that shortcuts in capital letters mean the button pressed with Shift. Happy hacking :)
