cplay2

Description

cplay is now back with some more features!
It is a fork of the well known cplay, so lets call it cplay2.

cplay2 is a curses front-end for various audio players. It aims to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist and playlist control. cplay2 is written in Python and can use either pyncurses or the standard curses module.

New (optional) features in cplay2

• Generates a log with files being played.
• Supports importing a list of files from any script, without leaving the ui.
• Repeat mode has an additional option to import songs from a script instead of actual repeating.
• mplayer support (currently only audio). Plugins, ladspa, etc may be passed to mplayer.
• Addjustable fade out, for mixing between songs!
• Max play time option. This will mix the song with next one, if the song is more than x mins and after it passes its 85% of its duration.
• Navigate into m3u playlist files.
• More settings can be set in the rc file.
• Bookmarks are saved between launches.
• New colored ui.
• Dynamic help page.
