MP3 Daemon

2005-09-12 Thread Steve Murdoch 

Hi all,

I have used mpg321 and mp3blaster to continuously loop a randomised 
playlist.


The machine does nothing else so the cpu utilisation of mp3blaster 
doesnt matter.


Does any one know of anything that is designed to work in daemon mode.

Both the above products seem a little unpredictable when left running 
and logged out.

 nothing really)... but it will stay running through restarting X :)

 Not sure on openbsd support, but they claim NetBSD and FreeBSD works.
