# zuke A music player for Plan 9.  With some stuff one expects from a music player: * gapless playback * seeking * playlists * good metadata support * basic livestreams (ie IceCast) support ## Installing Install [libtags](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/libtags) first. Clone the repo, do `mk install`. Zuke comes with two programs. One is `audio/zuke`, which is the player itself. The other one is `audio/mkplist`, it's used to make playlists that are then fed to `audio/zuke`'s stdin: ``` % audio/mkplist /n/somefs/dir /n/otherfs/file.mp3 http://stream.nauticradio.net:14280/ > $home/somefs.plist % audio/zuke < $home/somefs.plist ``` Of course, one can combine these steps into one: ``` % audio/mkplist /n/music | audio/zuke ``` ## Theme To change the default theme install [picker](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/picker) and run it using right mouse button menu in zuke. `snarf all` and save it to a file, then point to that file using an environment variable (you can put it into `$home/lib/profile`): ``` theme=.../my.theme ``` ## Columns to display Zuke has an optional argument `-c` that specifies which columns to display, the default is `-c AatD`. ``` A artist a album t title D duration d date T track number p file path ``` With `-s` zuke will start in shuffled mode. ## Hot keys ``` - volume down + = volume up left/right seek backwards/forward (10 seconds step) , . seek backwards/forward (one minute step) up down pgup pgdn home end move within the playlist o i move to the currently playing track enter play the selected track > b skip next < z skip prev v stop p c pause/resume s toggle shuffle q/del quit / search forward ? search backwards n repeat search forward N repeat search backwards ``` ## Mouse ``` left - select a track right - menu middle - play the track under the pointer ```
