As for MOC, I recommend cmus over MOC because it got more decoder over different types files.
Well, just tried cmus. It's so complicated an unintuitive. If I need to first finish my degree to be able to use a program then there's something wrong with it. If I add a directory to the playlist, there are no tracks listed in the playlist, only the directory, and the tracks are played in random order, there's no progress bar, etc. And to do simple things, you first need to enter complicated vi like commands. I hate vi, btw. And my impression is that the sound quality of MOC is still a bit better.
I doubt that one need the other decoders. At least I haven't missed a decoder in MOC.
Heh cmus is probably my preferred player now so I ought to defend it. Too complicated, seriously ? The only command I ever need is the initial one to add my music directory : # add files, short for ':add ~/music' :a ~/music After that, all you need is 3 keys : space to expand an artist and view the albums, enter to play what you want, tab to switch between album view and track view if you want a particular track. By the way, in the main/default mode, you don't see directory, you see artist/albums from tags. There are 7 views in cmus. Press keys 1-7 to change active view. Library view (1) And these 5 shortcuts can be useful too : x player-play c player-pause v player-stop C toggle continue s toggle shuffle You cannot pretend you want keyboard controls, and not open the man page to learn the few keys you need :)
