Re: [LAU] use your pc as an music player (and safe energy)

Note those are back-ticks causing the entire expression they enclose to be executed before the result is passed to the mplayer executable. I assume you understand those utilities but if not, grep 112 playlist looks for a match to that file you wanted to play, and cut -d" " -f2 selects just the file name found in field 2 of the line cut at the space character. Now, before you complain that that's a self-defeating amount of typing, just return to that command in your shell's history and simply change the number to play my preference, for example - track 111. If you are kidding, you should be ashamed of yourself... P - ) Frank
