Hi!
I'd go for the script. Name your files like:
01-my_title.mp3
02-my_second_title.mp3
And then use something like the following:
*** BEGIN ***
#!/bin/bash
for F in *.mp3 do
mplayer $F
read -p "Press a key and <ENTER> " KEY;
done
*** END ***
You could then even do something with your key. Something like:
case "$KEY" in
q)
echo "Quit the loop";
;;
r)
echo "Repeat the last title";
;;
esac;
You'll have to work with a while loop for some of this, but still,
rather flexible.
You could even put this:
sleep 5
before the mplayer command, so you'll have time to switch back to
your lyrics or whatever...
Another thing, about which I'm absolutely not sure, is to try xmms.
I've heard they have a lot of things about playlists...
Well, if I need to I can prettly easily convert a program I already have
(xplaymidi) which calls up midi files and convert it to call mplayer or
whatever. It is probably easier/quicker to do that than to try get a
fancy player to do something simple ... just figured that someone else
would have done it already :)
