.TH HTTP-MUSIC 1 .SH NAME http-music - play music through the internet .SH SYNOPSIS .B http-music [opts...] .SH DESCRIPTION \fBhttp-music\fR is an easy-to-use command line music player that uses the internet as its main source. It features several convenient options which make it powerful while still sticking to the idea of keeping the utility as usable as possible. .PP \fBhttp-music\fR is portable. It can be used anywhere with a Node environment, requiring only two commonly installed (and otherwise easy to get) utilities (\fBmpv\fR and \fBavconv\fR). .SH KEYBOARD CONTROLS .TP .BR Skips backwards 5 seconds in the currently playing track; hold shift to skip by 30 seconds. .TP .BR Skips forwards 5 seconds in the currently playing track; hold shift to skip by 30 seconds. .TP .BR Turns the volume up a 10%-notch. .TP .BR Turns the volume down 10%. .TP .BR Pauses (or plays) playback. .TP .BR i Shows information (title, URL/path) on the currently playing track. (\fBt\fR also works.) .TP .BR q Quits the http-music process and stops music currently being played. (\fB^C\fR and \fB^D\fR also work.) .TP .BR s Skips the currently playing track. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BR \-c ", " \-\-clear Clears the active playlist.
