PC Players / libbass-based module player for Linux
« on: November 05, 2011, 12:27:48 »
Hello,
Annoyed by the lack of the module players for Linux that would replicate the playback quality offered by the XMPlay, I decided to write my own player that uses Bass library. While I wrote the player primarily for myself, I decided to post it to the forum in case it might prove useful for other Linux users out there.
Notes about the player:
- the player is an interactive command-line application
- it requires the Linux version of libbass (downloadable from the Un4Seen website)
- for now it takes only one command-line parameter, namely the name of the module that is being played. The volume can be set during playback.
The key bindings for the player are:
'[ ]' - decrease and increase the volume, respectively
'p' - pause or resume the playback
'q' - stop the playback
Sample usage (provided that the bassplay is in path, eg. /usr/local/bin):
While the application itself is quite unpolished, I might expand on the functionality in case of positive feedback.
I put the player on Mediafire for download
The download for the player is attached to this post.
*EDIT = not console, but command-line application
EDIT2 = The upload on mediafire contains just the player binary
