I have a lot of songs at home, stored in .wma format. I want to play those songs on a linux computer at school. This is the command I ran, and it works just fine:

(mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm -aofile /dev/fd/9 song.wma > /dev/null 2>&1) 9>&1 | (gogo /dev/stdin /dev/fd/9 -silent > /dev/null 2>&1) 9>&1 | ssh username@computer.se 'mpg123 -'

But that way I have to execute that command for every song I want to play, so I wanted to use a playlist instead. So I ran this command:

(mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm -aofile /dev/fd/9 -playlist songs.txt -shuffle > /dev/null 2>&1) 9>&1 | (gogo /dev/stdin /dev/fd/9 -silent > /dev/null 2>&1) 9>&1 | ssh username@computer.se 'mpg123 -'

This works fine for the first song that is played, but in the following songs mplayer start to skip large parts of the songs. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

you want to learn to use your shell and make a for loop. even if your method worked (and it should..) you'd get all the files stuck together as one huge mp3 rather than individual. btw gogo is pretty low quality i think, you might try lame instead, or even bladeenc or something.. rich
