Description

cplay is a minimalist music player with a textual user interface written in Python. It aims to provide a power-user-friendly interface with simple filelist and playlist control.

Instead of building an elaborate database of your music library, cplay allows you to quickly browse the filesystem and enqueue files, directories, and playlists.

The original cplay was started by Ulf Betlehem in 1998 and is no longer maintained. This is a rewrite that aims to stay true to the original design while evolving with a shifting environment.
