Thread: Bash for playing directories full of music

i've been trying , trying figure out problem, have music in subdirectories due large amount or how have sorted or anything.

if process file names , remove spaces , special characters, works. don't want this.

go the directory want and:

code:

find . -type f -iname "*flac" | sort | while read filen; echo "$filen" | mplayer; done

this command start playing first piece goes strange behavior, skipping , jumping in file.

i've tried:

code:

mplayer `find . -type f -iname "*mp3" | sort`

this 1 doesn't work @ all

code:

find . -type f -iname "*flac" -exec mplayer

works fine except playlist isn't sorted based on filename.

ideas?

interesting. i've used similar 'find' commands , didn't have issues mplayer, don't once start playback. appear fine me, i've never sorted output.

have tried put intermediate output file , using feed mplayer

code:

mplayer -playlist

option?

or turning around

code:

find . -type f -iname "*mp3" | sort | mplayer -
