SYNOPSIS
audtty [<-|+>ahlntV] [ options ]DESCRIPTION
audtty is a simple application for controlling Audacious from the command line. It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and easy to do. It is operated using arrow keys and standard Audacious keys, to make it easy and intuitive to learn.OPTIONS
To negate a short option, use '+' instead of '-' (e.g. +a).Long-options are negated with no-, (e.g. --no-read-all).
- The keys for basic control are as follows:
-

BUGS
The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of detecting changes in the playlist, and therefore audtty might need to be told to reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by pressing L. If the length of the playlist changes, audtty will assume the playlist has changed and reload the entire playlist to make sure it is correct.Probably lots more.
