This is a simple music player invoked from the command line. It's inspired by zigbert and Thunor.
Why do we need another music player? Why not!
The unique thing is that it uses just ffmpeg and aplay (the engine for Pmusic) which are in 99% of all puppies, even old ones, probably not really cut down ones but you never know.
It also uses busybox ash as the shell, to be faster and lighter.
Any way, paste the following code into your fav text editor and save as "ashmusic". Set exec permissions, plonk it in your executable PATH and you are ready to go.
It's invoked with ashmusic "/path/to/music file.mp3" (be sure to use quotes if you have spaces). It plays music well and even has some features as you may discover. It works equally as well outside of X.
TODO: add directory support.
Enjoy!
