You need xmms installed to use this package: http://www.xmms.org/
This package provides the following modules:
Xmms::Remote - Perl interface to the xmms_remote API
Xmms::Config - Perl interface to the xmms_cfg API
Xmms - Exports the remote control shell routine
Xmms::Plugin - Embeds a Perl interpreter inside xmms and provides
Input/Output/Effect/General plugin interfaces for
Perl (not yet released, may never be)
For best results, install the bundle via:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Xmms'
Motivation:
I am a programmer and I need good tunes for programming fuel.
After my dsl installation last week, I finally discovered for myself,
MP3z are the coolest thing since sliced bread. xmms is a wonderful
tool, but I am not a fan of the GUI. Not that it isn't well done, it
is very slick. But, my laptop mouse pad is flakey and I can never
remember what buttons do what. The interactive shell provides command
history, command/file completion and emacs key bindings. The shell
also adds quite a bit functionality over what can be done with xmms
from the command line. And a bit more than the gui, such as searching.
See `perldoc Xmms' for feature details.
Enjoy,
-Doug
