MOC

MOC (music on console) is an open source project that provides a console audio player for LINUX/UNIX designed to be powerful and easy to use.

Its playback is smooth, regardless of I/O load or system, because the output buffer is used in a separate thread.

Features:

• Simple mixer.
• Color themes.
• Searching the menu (the play list or a directory) like M-s in Midnight Commander.
• The way MOC creates titles from tags is configurable.
• Optional character set conversion for file tags using iconv().
• OSS, JACK, and ALSA output.

Fix bad memory acces when using FILL parameter in layouts that caused "FATAL_ERROR: Layout1 is malformed". Fix compilation with newer ffmpeg. (Alexis Ballier) Increase maximum file title (made from tags) length to 512. Helps on wide terminals. Fix displaying URLs on the playlist when it ends with a slash. Fix compilation of flac plugin by detecting libflac using pkg-config. Fix for multichannel playback. (Maarten van Es) Fix handling of invalid track number in tags. A segfault occured when the track number was at least a value of 2^31. Support for the new (SVN) libmpcdec API. Remove old, irrelevant comment about iconv from the configuration file. Fix configure to display proper information about compiled RCC. Run libtoolize in autogen.sh to prevent conflicts with installed libtool/libltdl version.
