Norton Commander meets WinAmp

There are as many MP3 player apps as there are stars in the Milky Way (I am exaggerating a little bit!), but if you’re like me and you often work in a terminal, it’s nice to have an option that integrates seamlessly into your workflow. MOC is a console-based player with a Norton Commander style interface and the beautiful simplicity of early WinAmp releases. You navigate your filesystem on the left side and your playlist on the right. Instant addition of whole directories makes coming up with a quick mix for the afternoon effortless.

There are a few UI annoyances, the most notable of which I found to be the inability to enqueue files from the search result list which means that managing subsets of files is a bit of a pain. Fortunately, as of 2016, the project seems to be back in active development, although as an old-school project hosted on a Subversion server somewhere, patches take longer to make their way into the codebase than in typical GitHub/GitLab projects.
