Usage

audtty [{<- | +>ahlntV}] [options]

Overview

audtty is a simple application for controlling Audacious from the command line. It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and easy to do. It is operated using arrow keys and standard Audacious keys, to make it easy and intuitive to learn.

Options

To negate a short option, use '+' instead of '-' (e.g.+a).
Long-options are negated withno-, (e.g.--no-read-all).

The keys for basic control are as follows:: +-----------------------+
| << > || o >> |
+-----------------------+

z x c v b

-a, --read-all: Read all titles and lengths on startup (EXTREMELY SLOW) (default off).

-h, --help: Print help message.

-l, --length: Show length of track in playlist (SLOW) (default on).

-n, --numbers: Show numbers in playlist (default on).

-t, --title: Read the title from ID3/ogg-tags (SLOW) (default on).

-V, --version: Display version information.
