NAME
music123 - plays various sound files (usually including MP3, Ogg and

SYNOPSIS
music123 [ -hqrvz ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
music123 is a shell around various command line programs to play music
files. It will descend directories trees with -r, and randomize file
lists with -z. The programs used and the options given them are listed
in /etc/music123rc or ~/.music123rc.
OPTIONS
-h Show command help and exit;
-q Quiet mode. No messages are displayed.
-r Recurse into directories, instead of ignoring them.
-v Display version information and exit.
-z Play files in random order.
-Z Play the files randomly and endlessly.
- -l Loop. -z -l differs from -Z in that -z -l will randomize, play
- through the song list (without repetition) in random order once, and repeat the songs in that order over and over; -Z will randomly play the songs, without any order, and will possibly play a song right after itself.
- -D Set music123 not to delay between songs. (May make music123
- harder to kill).
- -d Customize the time music123 delays between songs. -d takes one
- argument, expressed in seconds, which may have a fractional part.
- -@ Play the files listed in the mandatory argument of -@. Other
- files can be added on the command line, and this option can be given several times. Note that music123 doesn't yet play URLs.
- -- End option list.

- music123 test1.ogg test2.mp3 test3.wav
