Juke - A Juke Box ================= 1 Introduction Juke is a curses/ ncurses based juke box program for Unix computers. The program uses command line base player to play all kinds of different music files. 2 Configuration Juke uses a configuration file called juke.conf to specifiy which program is to be associated with a certain file format. Here is a sample file. # Sample juke configuration file # @ is replaced by juke with the file to play .mp3 mpg123 -b 128 -q @ .xm mikmod -o -n -q @ .mod mikmod -o -n -q @ .psg psgplay -q @ I hope that the format is kind of self explaining. The configuration file can be saved as /etc/juke.conf or ~/.juke.conf. The later is used if both files exists. 3 Usage Juke is started with one or more directories as parameters. The directories are scanned for files specified in the configuration file. Juke have two modes of operation. The items mode that is a directory tree listning and the queue mode that is the tunes that are scheduled for playing. Here are the keys used. a Add item to queue b Page up c Clear queue d Delete item from queue h Help message i, up Move cursor up j, left Enter directory at cursor position k, down Move cursor down l, right Leave current directory m Move item to top of queue p Pause player q Quit r Randomize items in queue s Skip playing item t Toggle display mode space Page down Well thats it.
