You can tell mplayer to shut up with any messages with either mplayer --msglevel=all=-1 myfile.mp3 or set the environment variable MPLAYER_VERBOSE to a ridiculously high (low?) negative number (which can be done in your .bashrc so it's always set): $ export MPLAYER_VERBOSE=-99 $ mplayer myfile.mp3 Hope this helps. -tim On May 25, 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Well, Mark peveto here, I tried mplayer, and yeah, it works, but good heavens how do I get it not to read that screen full of fluff while it plays?
