Web audio on the command line

Install mpv and ytdlp

MPV can play most URLs

mpv -no-vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJxRjWtwmEE # single YT video
mpv -no-vid https://www.discogs.com/master/50617-Wire-Chairs-Missing # webpage with videos
mpv -no-vid https://robertturman.bandcamp.com/album/chapter-eleven-1976-1987 # bandcamp album
mpv -no-vid https://takusugimoto.bandcamp.com/music # bandcamp artist
mpv -msg-level=all=no -no-vid https://archive.org/details/kiyoshi-mizutani--yokosawairi # archive.org audio

Append multiple URLs to the args to play them all, or keep a playlist in a file:

mpv -no-vid -playlist=playlist.txt
