# Example:
#   p E*.mp3 pop/A*.mp3
#

files = Dir[ARGV.shift || '*.mp3', *ARGV].shuffle

puts "Next song: Ctrl-C."
puts "Exit:      Ctrl-C twice, quickly."
puts

interrupts = 0
Signal.trap('INT') do
  exit if interrupts > 0
  interrupts += 1
  sleep 0.1
  interrupts = 0
end

files.each do |file|
  puts file
  %x{afplay "#{file}"}
end

woooot! ;)

Add a .cycle after the shuffle, if you want it to loop forever.

What happened to good old mpg123? :)

It won't support Picky in the future ;)

I've been using BashTunes:

find . -name *.mp3 | xargs afplay

I like it!

But does it really whip the llama's ass? If not, I'll stay with Winamp.
