IMHO using audio/musicpd gives you a very flexible solution, the mpd program runs in the background, and you can use several clients to connect to it. You have commandline, curses, GTK, QT, whatnot, clients. You can mix and match as you prefer and the music will keep playing even if you quit the client ... -- Martin Tournoij [email protected] | (+031) 621 991 576 http://www.carpetsmoker.net | http://www.daemonforums.org QOTD: Fortune and love befriend the bold. -- Ovid _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
