mp3dir

Want a super basic mp3 player using your CLI interface (Terminal in MacOS)?
No need for pause/skip/scrub/like/etcetc?? Then mp3dir is for you!

install

Open Terminal (or CLI tool of choice), run the following commands one at a time:

  • cd /usr/local/bin // sets CLI working path to local binaries dir
  • touch mp3dir // creates blank file called mp3dir
  • open mp3dir // opens file in text editor
  • paste gist code above into text editor window, save, close
  • chmod +x mp3dir // makes executable

Alternatively, Download Zip above, open Terminal:

  • cd /usr/local/bin // sets CLI working path to local binaries dir
  • copy mp3dir file into folder
  • chmod +x mp3dir // makes executable

usage

  • mp3dir *drag+drop mp3 dir*
  • enjoy!

exit

  • CTRL + C // quits CLI process
