I have installed cplay and here is my little review: * mocp is not a front-end, so it has no problems with pause, rewinding and stop (there are some interruptions due to problems with buffer), * you can always detach mocp and attach again without any interruptions, * there are less informations about a file in 'cplay' and not so many configuration options like FormatString, StartInMusicDir and others, * next useful option in mocp is a possibility to turn off mmap() (it really helps with NFS), * rewinding is very slow in 'cplay' (front-end issue), * time in mp3 files with VBR and without XING is incorrect (again front-end issue), * mocp can play all supported files using ALSA, * finally, mocp has themes, so it is more colorful and userfriendly. cplay is also good and has a few options that would be in mocp soon. I hope. -- ::)^|^(:: Michal Jeczalik Jr, salvador@dione.ids.pl, http://www.salvador.eu.org :(:\:/:): GPG: 1024/2A3BD1C6, E593 52AA F6D4 BF34 B464 5994 9C47 BF44 2A3B D1C6
