NAME
audtty - Control Audacious from the command line with a friendly
ncurses interface
SYNOPSIS
audtty [<-|+>ahlntV] [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
audtty is a simple application for controlling Audacious from the command line. It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and easy
to do. It is operated using arrow keys and standard Audacious keys, to
make it easy and intuitive to learn.
OPTIONS
To negate a short option, use '+' instead of '-' (e.g. +a).
Long-options are negated with no-, (e.g. --no-read-all).
- The keys for basic control are as follows:
- +-----------------------+
| << > || o >> |
+-----------------------+z x c v b - -a, --read-all
- Read all titles and lengths on startup (EXTREMELY SLOW) (default off).
- -h, --help
- Print help message.
- -l, --length
- Show length of track in playlist (SLOW) (default on).
- -n, --numbers
- Show numbers in playlist (default on).
- -t, --title
- Read the title from ID3/ogg-tags (SLOW) (default on).
- -V, --version
- Display version information.
- Tip: Things going slow? Try audtty -ntl

CONFIGURATION FILES
- /etc/audtty.conf
- Global configuration file.
- $HOME/.audtty.conf
- Local configuration file, specific for each user. Can be used to override the global options.
- The syntax of the configuration files are long options without the '--', one on each line.

- numbers
title
length no-read-all
BUGS
The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of detecting
changes in the playlist, and therefore audtty might need to be told to
reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by pressing L. If the
length of the playlist changes, audtty will assume the playlist has
changed and reload the entire playlist to make sure it is correct.
Probably lots more.
