command linemusic
I want to install a tool different from mplayer on a mac to play music. I want to be able to play mp3 music files that are in a folder, either in order or randomly. I.e. I want to do something like
player files/*
player -shuffle files/*
with some key shortcuts to pause and skip to the next title.
What other command line too is there I can try?
If you are looking to install some common command line tools which are not included in Mac OS X, you might have some success in the Rudix program, which offers pre-compiled versions of many utilities in a ready-to-install DMG/pkg format.
Yes! The OS X Chess app relies on the sjeng engine, which has a command line version. Type /Applications/Chess.app/Contents/Resources/sjeng.ChessEngine and press enter to play:
Make moves with the coordinates of the origin and destination you want: e1e4 moves the piece at e1 to e4.
Sjeng doesn't take any command line arguments, but you can edit the config file (stored in /Applications/Chess.app/Contents/Resources/sjeng.rc). This will probably mess with your settings in the GUI Chess app; make a backup before editing.
