Hi! I'd go for the script. Name your files like: 01-my_title.mp3 02-my_second_title.mp3 And then use something like the following: *** BEGIN *** #!/bin/bash for F in *.mp3 do mplayer $F read -p "Press a key and <ENTER> " KEY; done *** END *** You could then even do something with your key. Something like: case "$KEY" in q) echo "Quit the loop"; ;; r) echo "Repeat the last title"; ;; esac; You'll have to work with a while loop for some of this, but still, rather flexible. You could even put this: sleep 5 before the mplayer command, so you'll have time to switch back to your lyrics or whatever... Another thing, about which I'm absolutely not sure, is to try xmms. I've heard they have a lot of things about playlists...
