Guys, am sure this post will definitely interest you - how to play an audio file from Terminal on Mac OS X without using iTunes. Well, we play it using the "afplay" command.
Well here's what you need to do in Terminal :
-q switch is to set the quality level. 0 is default for low quality. Set it 1 for high quality version.
-d switch is for debugging which shows you the technical details like frames/packet, buffer byte size etc.
-r is the rate / speed of playback. Default is 1. Try changing it to 2 or 3 for speedier playback ;)
Oh and by the way, in case if you didn't notice, I was playing the cool Maya Jane Coles remix of Bo Saris' "She's on Fire". Maya Jane Coles rocks :)
