[Linux] Play Songs from the Terminal!
If you are a new user to Linux, then you might be wondering how different the linux terminal is from the windows command prompt. You might have heard it is very different. But how different?
Can you play your favorite songs from your command prompt? I don’t think you can. But in linux, the terminal can. Yes, but the method I am mentioning needs you to have VLC installed.
If you haven’t installed, install it using
sudo apt-get install vlc
if you are using Ubuntu.
This is the command to run any audio file on your terminal
vlc -I ncurses /home/Music/johnyquesttheme.mp3
Replace “/home/Music/johnyquesttheme.mp3″ with the audio file you want. Also you can add all the music in a folder by pointing to the path of the folder, say like “/home/Music/”.
Now, can you do that on Windows?
P.S. If you know a way to do this in Windows, then I would appreciate if you share it with us! Just make sure that the tip is free to use and share!
P.P.S And this is not the only difference between the Linux Terminal and Windows Command Prompt. This is one difference among the multitude of differences.
