====== Play MP3 from the command line ======

My favorite software is [[http://mpg123.org/|mpg123]] because it is simple and doens't need a lot of resources.
Start it with the -C parameter, so you will be able to enter command during the play.
<code>
mpg123 -C /path/to/your/mp3/album/*
</code>

Type h during the play to display the available commands.
