Orpheus on Woody //at 02:26 //by abe
Nobse’s blog posting about his ITP
the text mode menu- and window-driven front-end to mpg123, mpg321 and
ogg123 orpheus
made me curious since I was also unsatisfied with the audio players I
used so far and mostly ended up in using mpg123
-Z *.mp3, because it works fine and is not as resource-hungry
as XMMS. And for CDs I usually used a self-written perl wrapper around
the command line tools of cdtools (mostly cdir and cdplay).
I first installed orpheus from sources on my SuSE box at work today while waiting for a windows box to upgrade to some service pack. At home I took nobse’s debian packages sources and recompiled the package on my Woody running desktop. After installing the required build dependecy dpatch from backports.org, the package compiled through without any problems and I now have a very useful and slim text mode audio player.
And orpheus and aumix look fine together inside transparent aterms.
Now playing in orpheus of course: Jean Michel Jarre — Je Me Souviens
