hey socialnerds,

i spent a lot of hours on finding the best solution for listening to music on my linux box.. and with pretty much every solution i tried there was a lack of important features like playlists or keyboard shortcuts or it consumed so much performance that it wouldn’t run fluently or at all on older machines.

anyway.. here it goes.. i found moc “music on console”
its a (nc)console based music player and it does everything you need and lets say.. it just works!

installation (arch linux):

sudo pacman -S moc

moc is server – client based so you have to connect to the moc daemon with its client “mocp” in order to control it.

just type:

mocp

and enjoy your music.

if you need further help just press h (help) in the moc interface
