Ya, I waslso thinking that this issue is no longer really about
mplayer.
Regardingour point #2, ${PLAY_LIST} is a list of songs to be played,
thenhe loop finds the next item as $TRACK, updates a 'now playing'
var based on $TRACK,nd sends a single flac file to mplayer as $TRACK.
It is how I grabhe current artist.
I'mhinking I may need to approach it from a different angle so I
don't needhe while-loop.
Thanksll.
