Music Player

Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:26 am

Hello all,
I have some MP3s on my Pi and want to play them. But I don't know how. Is there a good program I can install?

The RPF have much documentation available, seems a shame not to read it:

Thanks,
but the names of my music are also with " ",
so it can't read them. And I was more looking for a program than for a command.

Thank you.
Maybe I'll try that later on.
But is there something a bit more ... simple?
I mean, for the installation?

It says "Invalid operation vlc".
And yes, I did type it in correctly.

File names with spaces are a pain. Either enclose the full name in quotes

Code: Select all

omxplayer "This has spaces.mp3"
or escape the spaces.

Code: Select all

omxplayer This\ has\ spaces.mp3
.
