High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Music On Console (MOC) is an ncurses-based console audio player for Linux/UNIX written by Damian Pietras. It is designed to be powerful and easy to use, with a command structure and window layout inspired by the Midnight Commander console file manager. It is very configurable, supporting ALSA, OSS or JACK outputs, customizable color schemes, interface layouts, key bindings, and tag parsing. MOC has a single playlist (which can be saved in m3u format) and has the concept of a `music directory` but it has no library file where metadata is saved. Instead this information is read from the files themselves as needed upon access or during idle time. If the playlist has extended m3u information, that will be read.
