Created for the moc package

Music On Console is a console audio player for LINUX/UNIX designed to
be powerful and easy to use

You just need to select a file from some directory using the menu
similar to Midnight Commander, and MOC will start playing all files in
this directory beginning from the chosen file. There is no need to
create playlists like in other players.

If you want to combine some files from one or few directories on one
playlist, you can do this. The playlist will be remembered between
runs or you can save it as an m3u file to load it whenever you want.

Need the console where MOC is running for more important things? Need
to close the X terminal emulator? You don't have to stop playing -
just press q and the interface will be detached leaving the server
running. You can attach it later, or you can attach one interface in
the console, and another in the X terminal emulator, no need to switch
just to play another file.

MOC plays smoothly, regardless of system or I/O load because it uses
the output buffer in a separate thread. It doesn't cause gaps between
files, because the next file to be played is precached while playing
the current file.

Supported file formats are: MP3, OGG Vorbis, WAVE, FLAC and new
formats support is under development.

Please notice to start moc with the command:
$ mocp
as the binary moc generates Qt meta object support code ;-)

The manpage is accommodated to the Debian doc behaviour.

Have fun ;-)
