Hello everyone:-) I've been playing a bit with the 'play' command and have discovered that it can only do .wav files:-( I've got my linux box set up so that it runs in linux during the daylight hours and then around 3:00am it reboots into OS/2. The reason for that is because I have developed a rexx script in os/2 that in essence turns the computer into an alarm clock by randomly playing .wav and .mid files, whereever they may be (a maintenance script locates the files and stores their locations, and then the alarm script just reads the file and selects a file (much like fortunes in linux)). I would like to do the same thing in linux, but have been unable to find anything that can play the .mid files. On the dos/os2 portion of my box, most of the music files are in either .wav or .mid format, and of course, linux seems to have a pretty good selection of .au and .raw files. I can put together something to locating and selecting what files to play, but the play part is what I've been having problems with. Does anybody know of an application that I can use that will play most of the more popular music formats from the commandline?
